Popis: As being an important aspect of organizational life, organizational communication is known as related to employees’ attitudes and behaviors toward work. Research on commitment indicated that commitment consists of three components as affective, normative, and continuance and beside developing commitment to their organization, employees may also develop commitment to different targets such as supervisors and workgroup. On the other hand, recent empirical studies supported the view that different self-concept levels that employees have may be related to different components and targets of commitment. In this theoretical paper, a model is proposed and in the prediction of affective and normative commitment to both supervisors and workgroup through communication with supervisor and workgroup, employee self-concepts (relational or collective self) are proposed as moderator variables. Moreover, in the proposed model afective and normative commitment to supervisor and the workgroup are proposed as both direct and indirect predictors of turnover intention via organizational commitment.
