Organizational Commitment Levels Of Chinese Counselors By Gender, College Type, And Age

Abstract

Organizational commitment is the attitude of counselors toward an organization and reflects the specific embodiment of their devotion to and identification with the organization. Using a questionnaire, this study conducted an empirical study of the organizational commitment levels of 396 college counselors in Zhejiang Province, China. A convenience sampling technique was used in this study. The results showed that the overall organizational commitment level of college counselors was above average. There was no significant difference in the level of organizational commitment found in this study among counselors of different genders or types of colleges. There was a significant difference in the level of organizational commitment between the generation groups, such that Post-80s counselors’ organizational commitment was higher than that of post-90s counselors. Accordingly, suggestions have been put forward to improve the organizational commitment of college counselors. This study also provides theoretical support for building stable, specialized and professional teams of counselors.
