Abstract
Organizational commitment may have an important influence on work related outcomes (attrition, absenteeism, burnout, tardiness, and job performance) particularly during times of health care organizational turmoil and change. This study used a correlational research design with multiple regression analysis to determine the predictive power of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards as determinants of organizational commitment among occupational therapists (OTRs) working full-time in ambulatory care and hospital settings. Task involvement was a significant predictor of OTRs' commitment in both ambulatory care and hospital settings. General working conditions and task autonomy were significant determinants of commitment among OTRs working in ambulatory care settings. Salary and supervision were significant predictors of commitment among hospital OTRs. Given the demand for OTRs in ambulatory care and hospital settings, a better understanding of significant determinants that influence organizational commitment among OTRs could prove beneficial in developing recruitment and retention job design strategies.
