This paper studies participation behavior, organizational commitment, perceived value and attitudinal loyalty as psychological and behavioral antecedents of the intention to use the services offered by professional associations to their members. For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted and the technique used was partial least squares (PLS). The findings highlight the importance of membership commitment and attitudinal loyalty, which have a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between perceived value and intention to use. This study contributes to the literature on professional associations, due to the scarce research on the relationships between psychological and behavioral variables linked to the member-association relationship. Additionally, to date, the constructs involved had not been integrated into a comprehensive research framework in the field of professional associations. The implications for management are the new ways to improve the intention to use the services of professional associations suggested by our findings.

参与行为、组织承诺和态度忠诚度与专业协会管理的相关性

本文研究了参与行为、组织承诺、感知价值和态度忠诚，作为使用专业协会为其成员提供的服务的意图的心理和行为前提。为此，进行了一项实证研究，所使用的技术是偏最小二乘法（PLS）。研究结果强调了会员承诺和态度忠诚的重要性，它们对感知价值和使用意图之间的关系具有顺序中介作用。由于对与成员协会关系相关的心理和行为变量之间关系的研究很少，这项研究对专业协会的文献做出了贡献。此外，迄今为止，所涉及的结构尚未纳入专业协会领域的综合研究框架中。我们的研究结果表明，对管理层的影响是提高使用专业协会服务的意愿的新方法。
