Resumen
This study provides empirical evidence supporting the notion that a continuum of behaviors range from one end point named active disengagement to another end point named active engagement. We utilized a previously analyzed data set and found support for the existence of the engagement continuum and in addition, we found support for the idea that the analytical lens of this continuum improves our understanding of the relationshipsbetween commonly used measures of citizenship behavior, organizational commitment, and psychological bonding. One final result of this analysis is the decoupling of the model from references to OCBs and extra-role behavior as articulated in the OCB research stream by recognizing that the theoretical grounding of the engagement model and the original OCB model was Katz and Kahn (1978).
