Popis: This research reports findings on the relationship between Internet use in the public workplace and organizational commitment. Perceived organizational involvement and participation are treated as possible mediating variables. Several hypotheses are tested using data from a survey of local public administrators and managers in southern California. Our findings do not lend support to any hypothesis linking workplace Internet use to organizational commitment, either directly or indirectly. A surprising finding is a strong negative relationship between perceived organizational participation and organizational commitment. Another unexpected finding is a significant positive relationship between an administrator's level of position and organizational commitment. We conclude that more context-sensitive and multi-dimension measurements as well as more dynamic models are needed to study the effect of Internet use in the public workplace on organizational commitment.
