This study investigated the relationships between perceptions of academic tenure, post-tenure review policies, and three dimensions of organisational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative) in university academic staff. We surveyed a sample of 150 academic staff from 74 universities in the USA that have implemented post-tenure review policies or are contemplating doing so. Then, we tested hypotheses about the relationships between their perceptions of their post-tenure review policies and processes, and organisational commitment. The results showed that perceptions of post-tenure review as a threat to the guarantees of academic tenure were related negatively to affective and normative organisational commitment. The implications of these findings for employment stability and the ability of universities to attract and retain qualified staff are discussed.

大学学术人员对学术任期、任期后审查政策和组织承诺的看法

本研究调查了大学学术人员对学术任期的看法、任期后的审查政策和组织承诺的三个维度（情感、持续和规范）之间的关系。我们调查了来自美国 74 所大学的 150 名学术人员的样本，这些大学已经实施或正在考虑这样做。然后，我们测试了关于他们对任期后审查政策和流程的看法与组织承诺之间关系的假设。结果表明，将任期后审查视为对学术任期保证的威胁的看法与情感和规范的组织承诺呈负相关。
