Abstract
Why do casual academic staff stay with an organization and why do they leave? Does a three factor model of organizational commitment fit their situation? This paper reports on a study of women academic staff in casual employment at an Australian Tertiary Institution. Major variables included the three factor organizational commitment scale—affective commitment, normative commitment, and continuance commitment of Allen and Meyer (1990), Burke's (1991) intention to quit scale. Results indicate that both the three and four factor models of commitment are adequate but that the four‐factor model provides a better explanation of intention to quit, which is consistent with the employment circumstances of the sample.Keywords
