Analyzed some psycho-social factors which influence the commitment of 479 employees (aged 26-60 yrs) from different firms in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Using the Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS), the discipline factor was found to be more dominant than the concern factor; however, motivation to update and develop their current organizations was found to be the least important commitment expressed. Also the results showed no relationship between age and yrs of service on the one hand, and job commitment on the other; however, salary and educational level appeared to be significantly related with all OCS sub-scales except the discipline sub-scale. Those who were more satisfied in their jobs seemed to be more committed, and females demonstrated more concern about their jobs than did male Ss--who used discipline as a way of expressing their commitment to their organizations. Ss working in firms which were managed by nationals were found to have higher commitment in the dimensions of discipline and concern. Moreover, married Ss were more disciplined than were single ones. This study might provide some insights into the theoretical constructs predicting the organizational commitment of employees--which have yet to be shown to have cross-cultural validity.
