Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) helps measure employee's organizational commitment. It is a 15-item scale developed by Mowday, Steers and Porter ( Mowday et al., 1979) and uses a 5-point Likert type response format, with 3 factors that can describe this commitment:
- willingness to exert effort,
- desire to maintain membership in the organization, and
- acceptance of organizational values.
