textabstractPurpose – The purpose of this review was to integrate and organize past research findings on affective, normative, and continuance occupational commitment (OC) within an integrative framework based on central life span concepts. Design/methodology/approach – We identified and systematically analyzed 125 empirical articles (including 138 cases) that examined OC with a content valid measure to the here applied definition of OC. These articles provided information on the relationship between OC and four distinct life span concepts: chronological age, career stages, occupational and other life events, and occupational and other life roles. Furthermore, developmental characteristics of OC in terms of construct stability and malleability were reviewed. Findings – The reviewed literature allowed us to draw conclusions about the mentioned life span concepts as antecedents and outcomes of OC. For example, age and tenure is more strongly positively related to continuance OC than to affective and normative OC, nonlinear and moderating influences seem to be relevant in the case of the latter OC types. We describe several other findings within the results sections. Originality/value – OC represents a developmental construct that is influenced by employees’ workand life-related progress, associated roles, as well as opportunities and demands over their career. Analyzing OC from such a life span perspective provides a new angle on the research topic, explaining inconsistencies in past research and giving recommendation for future studies in terms of dynamic career developmental thinking.

从寿命角度看的职业承诺

textabstractPurpose –这篇综述的目的是在基于中心寿命概念的综合框架内，整合和组织过去有关情感，规范和持续职业承诺（OC）的研究结果。设计/方法/方法–我们确定并系统地分析了OC的125篇经验文章（包括138例），并采用了适用于OC定义的有效内容。这些文章提供了有关OC与四个截然不同的寿命概念之间的关系的信息：按时间顺序排列的年龄，职业阶段，职业和其他生活事件以及职业和其他生活角色。此外，从结构稳定性和延展性的角度对OC的发展特征进行了综述。研究结果–经过审查的文献使我们能够得出上述提及的寿命概念的结论，这些结论是OC的前提和结果。例如，年龄和保有权与连续性OC的关系更强，而与情感性和规范性OC的关系更强，非线性和适度的影响似乎与后者的OC类型有关。我们在结果部分中描述了其他一些发现。原创性/价值– OC代表着一种发展构架，受员工的工作和与生活相关的进步，相关的角色以及职业生涯中的机会和要求的影响。从这种生命周期的角度分析OC可以为研究主题提供一个新的角度，解释过去研究中的矛盾之处，并根据动态的职业发展思维为未来的研究提供建议。
