Abstract
Cosmopolitian-local, an attitudinal construct, has been used to predict and explain the variation in the manifest professional behavior of professionals in complex organizations. Recent research on university faculty members' attitudes has demonstrated the validity of a five-dimensional model of the construct. Factor analytic studies indicate that the five-dimensional model can serve as a standardized measure of professional orientation more plausibly than either the unidimensional or the two-dimensional models. The five dimensions of the more complex model are: professional commitment, commitment to organizational goals, organizational immobility, concern for advancement, and reference group orientation. These dimensions are significantly correlated to selected biographical, behavioral, and organizational variables.
