The research strategy proposed would rely on a pilot study conducted on a small scale in selected regions. Based on the outcome of the pilot study, the research design would be refined and a national study would follow. To initiate the pilot study, the support of two regions would be needed. Thirty employees (15 from each region) would participate. Employees from both community and institutional settings would participate, with job classifications ranging from correction officers, case management officers, to management-level employees. In addition to the major criterion of interest (organizational commitment), the study will examine three additional organizational outcome measures: job satisfaction, motivation, and job performance. A number of predictor measures will also be incorporated into the study design, including demographic variables, job attitudes, and personality variables. This report describes each of the proposed measures in detail. Staff from the Research Branch will administer the package of instruments to respondents and conduct the interviews required to obtain the data for the pilot study. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on the data- collection package. Following the data-collection phase, the preliminary results of this study will be analyzed and necessary changes made to the instructions and/or instruments. 24 references and appended organizational commitment questionnaire (Mowday, Steers, and Porter, 1979)
