However, research has not examined the influence of religious involvement on secular, noncivic organizations (i.e. work organizations). This study examines the link between religiosity, religious involvement, and the threecomponent model of organizational commitment. More specifically, the author hypothesizes that individuals high in religiosity (and religious involvement) will have lower affective, continuance, and normative commitment than less religious (or nonreligious) individuals. In addition, it is hypothesized that this relationship is moderated by a third factor organizational spirituality. Further, the author hypothesizes that for organizations that are spiritual the negative relationship between religiosity and job commitment will be weakened or even negated.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 31, 2009</index> </article>
