WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs

loyalty

arrange

This instrument assesses employees’ attitudinal attachment to an organization and their intention to remain. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) is commonly used in organizational and occupational settings to characterize overall commitment based on self-reported agreement with workplace statements.

It consists of 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents rate the extent to which each statement reflects their views, yielding scores that can be used to inform group-level workforce planning, program evaluation, and research on retention-related outcomes.

The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) is intended to support interpretation in context and should be considered alongside other sources of information (e.g., performance metrics, turnover data, and qualitative feedback). Allen and Meyer are frequently cited in relation to conceptualizations of organizational commitment and its assessment.
