ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of organizational
commitment scale and measure aspects and indicators that can form organizational commitment variables.
Organizational commitment involves three aspects, namely affective commitment, continuance commitment,
and normative commitment. The population in this study were all employees at the company "X" in Yogyakarta.
Characteristics of the population are the status of permanent employees in which employees have completed a
period of training, have sufficient understanding of the job description, and have worked at least one year. The
sample in this study were 60 employees in the company "X" in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used in this
study is simple random sampling. The method of data collection uses a scale of organizational commitment.
Research data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program.
Based on the results of data analysis, the aspects and indicators that make up the organizational commitment
variable are valid and reliable. The most dominant aspect reflecting organizational commitment is a normative
commitment with a loading factor of 0.926, and the weakest aspect reflecting organizational commitment is a
continuance commitment with a loading factor of 0.807. It shows all aspects and indicators are able to reflect
and shape organizational commitment variables. Thus, the measurement model can be accepted because the
theory valued organizational commitment variables in accordance with empirical data obtained from the subject.

I. INTRODUCTION
Every organization or company is founded with a specific purpose. The company goal will be achieved
if every individual who is part of the organization has a commitment to the organization (Suzuki & Takasu,
2013). Employee commitment to the organization is shown by loyalty and care for the development of the
organization (Luthans, 2007), willingness to follow the goals, values, norms, and ethics of the organization
(Henkin & Marchiori, 2003), the existence of a feeling of being united with the organization (Tommy & Julia,
2004), the willingness of employees to be involved in managing the organization sincerely and optimally (Shaw,
2003), and the willingness to dedicate their time, energy and talents to the organization (Boshoff & Mels, 1995).
Organizational commitment is one important factor that determines the success or failure of an
organization. This makes some organizations include an element of commitment as one of the conditions for
someone to occupy a position in the organization (Agung & Lussy, 2012). Steers and Porter (1991) suggest that
committed employees will increase their productivity. In addition, organizational commitment to employees can
improve the ability to work in teams (Benrazavi & Silong, 2013), improve performance Sahoo, Behera &
Tripathy, 2010; Thamrin, 2012; Yeh, & Hong, 2012), enhance the ability of learning organizations (Atak &
Erturgut, 2010; Atak, 2011), increase job satisfaction (Thamrin, 2012), and increase organizational citizenship
behavior (OCB) (Ng, & Feldman, 2011). Conversely, employees with low organizational commitment have a
negative tendency towards the organization and a tendency to resign (Meyer, Paunonen, Gellatly, Goffin &
Jackson, 1989; Ponnu, & Chuah, 2010; Sidharta & Margaretha, 2011).
Organizational commitment can be influenced by various factors. Griffin and Ebert (2009) stated that
job satisfaction could affect organizational commitment. Employees who feel satisfaction at work show higher
commitment compared to employees who do not feel satisfaction at work. In addition, the results of other
studies indicate that organizational commitment is influenced by leadership style (Limsili & Ogunlana, 2008;
Ismail & Yusuf, 2009; Thamrin, 2012), employee involvement in decision making (Han, Chiang, & Chang,
2010), employees organizational engagement (Albdour & Altarawneh, 2014), psychological empowerment and
organizational learning culture (Joo & Shim, 2010), perceptions of organizational justice (Ponnu, & Chuah,
2010), and human resource management systems implemented by the company (Lamba, & Choudhary, 2013).

 Affective Commitment, Continuance Commitment and Normative Commitment in Reflecting …

Organizational commitment to employees must be built and created so that employees are able to
complete their tasks effectively and efficiently. This must be done in the company "X" so that employees have a
high commitment to the organization so that that loyalty will arise, and there are relationships that support each
other in achieving organizational goals. Thus, the success of an organization is not only the responsibility of
leaders or managers but the responsibility of all members of the organization, including employees. Low levels
of employee commitment will hinder the achievement of organizational goals. Without the support of highly
committed employees, the organization will find it difficult to develop and progress.
The term and typology of organizational commitment were introduced by Etzioni (1961), this term has
grown in popularity since 1977 after being discussed by Salancik (1997) who proposed two forms of
commitment, namely attitudinal commitment and behavior commitment (behavioral commitment). Attitudinal
commitment refers to the state when an individual considers the appropriateness of his personal values and goals
with the values and goals of the organization and the extent of his desire to maintain his membership in the
organization. This approach views organizational commitment as affective commitment (Allen & Meyer, 1990),
which focuses on the process of how a person thinks about his relationship with the organization (Mowday,
Porter & Steers, 1982). Organizational commitment is manifested in the form of behavior based on the extent to
which employees make decisions to be bound by the organization. This commitment is related to the loss that
will be experienced when the individual decides to choose another alternative. In contrast to the attitude
approach, this behavioral approach emphasizes the process by which individuals develop commitments, not on
the organization but on their behavior towards the organization (Miner, 1992).
Organizational commitment develops as a result of a combination of work experience, organizational
perceptions, and personal characteristics that lead to positive feelings about the organization. Furthermore, these
positive feelings develop into commitment (Salancik, 1977). Mowday, Porter, and Steers (1982) say that
employees who have high organizational commitment will be more motivated to be present in the organization
and try to achieve organizational goals. Meanwhile, Greenberg and Baron (1993) state that organizational
commitment is related to the high desire to share and sacrifice for the organization.

II. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Organizational commitment is an extension of employee commitment to the organization, which is
defined as the state of employees who favor a particular organization with the aim of maintaining membership
in the organization (Blau & Boal, 1987). Furthermore, according to Kreitner and Kinicki (2001), organizational
commitment is a reflection of an individual's understanding of the organization and attachment to its goals.
Mowday, Porter, and Steers (1982) revealed that organizational commitment is an essential behavioral
dimension that can be used to assess employee trends, identify individual involvement in the organization, know
the desires of organizational members to maintain their membership in the organization and be willing to strive
to achieve organizational goals and willingness to accept the norms that exist in these organizations.
Porter, Steers, Mowday, and Boulivan (1974) explain that organizational commitment is the extent to
which employees accept organizational goals and values and wish to remain in the organization. This is in line
with the opinion of Robbins and Judge (2013), who said that organizational commitment is a condition of an
employee who takes sides with the organization's goals and has a desire to maintain its membership in the
organization. The development of empirical studies on organizational commitment shows that it can affect life
satisfaction (Iris & Barret, 1977; Judge, Boudreau & Bretz, 1994), job satisfaction (Yousef, 2002), and job
performance (Babin & Boles, 1996) but negatively affect absenteeism (Muchinsky, 1977) and turnover (Locke,
1984).
Meyer and Allen (1997) suggested that commitment can be formulated in three aspects, namely
affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. The first aspect, affective
commitment, occurs when individuals fully embrace the goals and values of the organization. Employees
become emotionally involved with the organization and feel personally responsible for the level of
organizational success. Employees with high affective commitment usually exhibit high levels of performance,
positive work attitudes, and a desire to stay with the organization. This aspect is shown by behavioral indicators
such as; make the realization of organizational goals a top priority, involve themselves in organizational
activities, and are willing to perform tasks to realize organizational success.
The second aspect is the continuance commitment. This aspect is shown by the employee's relationship
with the organization based on what they receive (e.g., salary, benefits, associations) in return for their work,
and what risks they may experience if employees leave the organization. Employees are willing to make the best
effort for their work only when the rewards are given according to their expectations. This aspect is shown by
indicators in the form of employees' feeling. The work done is in accordance with the results obtained, and
employees think they really need the work done at this time. The third aspect is the normative commitment. This
aspect is shown by the existence of individuals in the organization due to the expected standard of behavior or
social norms so that employees work only for compliance and formality. This aspect is indicated by indicators in

the form of employee compliance with the organization because of applicable rules, and employees feel they
have an obligation as an employee.

Figure 1: Conceptual Framework of Organizational Commitment

Based on Figure 1 above, this study hypothesizes organizational commitment is influenced by affective
commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment, and they are able to form organizational
commitment.
One approach that can be used in testing the construction of a measuring instrument is Confirmatory
Factor Analysis (CFA). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is one of the main approaches in factor analysis. It
can be used to test aspects of a construct. This test is used to do the measurement model so that it can describe
aspects in reflecting latent variables, namely organizational commitment, by looking at the loading factor of
each aspect that forms a construct. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is also used to test the construct validity
and construct reliability of latent construct indicators (Latan, 2012). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) used
in this study is the second order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2 nd Order CFA), a measurement model that
consists of two levels. The first level of analysis is carried out from aspects to its indicators, and the second
analysis is carried out from latent variables to its aspects (Latan, 2012).
Based on the description above, the formulation of the problem in this study is: 1) Is the scale of
organizational commitment valid and reliable?. 2) Are affective commitment, continuance commitment, and
normative commitment able to form variable organizational commitment?. The purpose of this study is to: 1)
Test the validity and reliability of the organizational commitment scale, and 2) Test the aspects and indicators
that can form the organizational commitment variable.

III. METHODOLOGY
3.1 Population, Sample and Sampling Technique
The population in this study were all employees at the company "X" in Yogyakarta. Population
characteristics include the status of the permanent employee in which the employee has completed the training
period, has sufficient understanding of the job description, and has worked for at least one year. The sample in
this study were 60 employees in the company "X" in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used in this study is
simple random sampling.

3.2 Data Collection Method

Organizational commitment is measured using a scale of organizational commitment with the Likert
scaling model. The scale in this study was compiled by researchers with reference to aspects of organizational
commitment, according to Allen and Mayer (1997), namely affective commitment, continuance commitment,
and normative commitment. An example of items on the aspect of affective commitment is "I still feel happy no
matter how hard my work is here". An example of items on the aspect of continuance commitment is "I continue
to work here as long as I get good treatment from the organization". And an example of the item on the aspect of
normative commitment is "I feel obliged to pay back for this organization". Blueprints that are used as a
reference in preparing the scale of organizational commitment can be seen in Table 1.

3.3 Construct Validity and Reliability

One approach that can be used in testing the construction of a measuring instrument is factor analysis.
The factor analysis used in this study is the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA) is a way to test how well the measured variables represent the construct. Therefore, CFA is used by
researchers to accept or reject hypotheses. The construct validity test is a validity test related to the degree to
which the scale reflects and acts like the concept being measured (Hair, Hult, Ringle, & Sartedt, 2016). The two
main aspects of construct validity are naturally theoretical and statistical (Sarwono, 2012). The construct
validity test includes convergent validity and discriminant validity (Malhotra, Chan, Malhotra, & Østbye, 2012)
Convergent validity is the degree of correlation between different measurement instruments used to
measure the same construct (Daniel & Gates, 2013). While discriminant validity is a measure that tests how far
a measure differs from other doses that can be compared with it (Malhotra, Chan, Malhotra, & Østbye, 2012).
Convergent validity can be seen from the loading factor value of > 0.5 and Average Variance Extracted (AVE)
value of > 0.5 (Jogiyanto, 2011). According to Hair, Hult, Ringle, and Sartedt (2016), the higher the loading
factor score, the more important the loading role will be in interpreting the factor matrix, with loading values
and AVE of > 0.5 considered significant (Abdillah, & Hartono, 2015). While discriminant validity can be seen
from comparing the roots of Average Variance Extracted (AVE) between aspects in which it must be higher
than the correlation with other aspects (Abdillah, & Hartono, 2015).
Reliability in measurement identifies the stability and consistency of an instrument in measuring
certain concepts and helps assess the goodness of a measurement instrument. The reliability test in the PLS
calculation uses two approaches, namely composite reliability and Cronbach alpha. Cronbach alpha measures
the lower limit of a construct's reliability value while composite reliability measures the actual value of a
construct's reliability (Abdillah, & Hartono, 2015). The construct reliability test is performed to show the internal
consistency of the measuring instrument by looking at the composite reliability value and Cronbach alpha with a
higher value. It will show the consistency value of each item in measuring latent variables. According to Hair,
Hult, Ringle, and Sartedt (2016) the expected composite reliability and Cronbach alpha value is > 0.7, and the
value 0.6 is still acceptable (Abdillah, & Hartono, 2015).

3.4 Data Analysis

The data in this study were analyzed using the outer model with the 2nd Order CFA approach through
the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. According to Abdillah and Hartono (2015), Partial Least Square (PLS) is a
variant-based Structural Equation Model (SEM) that can simultaneously test measurement models to test
validity and reliability.

IV. RESULT
The test results of the outer scale model of organizational commitment through the 2nd Order CFA
using the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program can be seen in Figure 2 below.

4.1 Convergent Validity Test

Based on the convergent validity test, it was found that the value of the loading factor from variables to
aspects is > 0.5, which means the results of the construct validity test of organizational commitment can be said
to be valid because it meets the criteria of loading factor value > 0.5. Convergent validity test results can be seen
in Table 2.
Table 2: Loading Factor Value (Variable-Aspect)
Aspect Loading Factor Explanation
Affective Commitment 0.885 Valid
Continuance Commitment 0.807 Valid
Normative Commitment 0.926 Valid

Based on the convergent validity test, it was found that the value of the loading factor from aspects to
indicators (items) is > 0.5, which is shown in Table 3.

Table 3: Loading Factor Value (Aspect-Item)

Item Loading Factor Explanation
AC1 0.627 Valid
AC13 0.729 Valid
AC16 0.812 Valid
AC19 0.778 Valid
AC22 0.748 Valid
AC4 0.835 Valid

CC17 0.908 Valid
CC2 0.907 Valid
NC18 0.839 Valid
NC3 0.865 Valid
NC9 0.889 Valid

Furthermore, the results of the convergent validity test indicate that the value of the Average Variance
Extracted (AVE) is > 0.5. The Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of the organizational commitment
variable is 0.514, and the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of each aspect can be seen in Table 4.

Affective 0.537 Valid
Continuance Commitment 0.807 Valid
Normative Commitment 0.747 Valid

4.2 Discriminant Validity Test

The results of discriminant validity test show that the root value of the Average Variance Extracted
(AVE) in each aspect is higher than the root value of the AVE in other aspects, so the discriminant validity
criteria are met. The AVE root value of the organizational commitment variable can be seen in Table 5.

Affective Commitment 0.733 0.495 0.688
Continuance Commitment 0.495 0.898 0.854
Normative Commitment 0.688 0.854 0.864

4.3 Construct Reliability Test

Based on the results of the construct reliability test that has been done, the composite reliability and
Cronbach alpha of > 0.7 are obtained so that it can be stated that the scale in this study is reliable. The
composite reliability and Cronbach alpha values can be seen in Table 6.

Table 6: Composite Reliability and Cronbach Alpha of Organizational Commitment

Variable Composite Cronbach Alpha Explanation
Reliability
Organizational Commitment 0.936 0.926 Reliable

The results of construct reliability testing with the 2nd Order CFA show that the scale of organizational
commitment has good reliability, and it means that aspects that measure organizational commitment variables
meet unidimensional criteria (Hair, Hult, Ringle, & Sartedt, 2016). This is indicated by the value of the
reliability composite of 0.936 and Cronbach alpha value of 0.926.
The data analysis (outer model) using the 2nd Order CFA shows that the measurement model on the
contract of organizational commitment can be accepted because all aspects can reflect performance variables
and are supported by valid (reliable) items.

V. DISCUSSION
Based on the results of the analysis of construct validity and construct reliability, the aspects and
indicators that make up the scale of organizational commitment are valid and reliable. This shows that all
aspects and existing indicators are able to reflect and shape organizational commitment variables. The most
dominant aspect reflecting organizational commitment is a normative commitment with a loading factor of
0.926. Normative commitment is indicated by indicators of employee compliance with the organization because
of applicable rules, and employees feel they have an obligation because of their status as an employee. This is
supported by observation and interview data at the research location, which shows that employees only work to
carry out their obligations as employees and because of compliance with the rules that apply in the organization.
Employees feel obliged to work to fulfill their formalities as employees who are supposed to complete their
work. This is in line with research from Ingarianti (2015) which shows that normative commitment is the most
dominant aspect to describe organizational commitment with a loading factor of 0.897.
Furthermore, the weakest aspect reflects organizational commitment is the ongoing commitment with a
loading factor of 0.807. Continued commitment is shown by the behavior of new employees who are willing to
work to the maximum if the work is done is worth the rewards obtained and is needed by employees. Based on
the findings at the study site, employees are currently only willing to make the best effort in carrying out their
duties and work when the awards given are in line with their expectations. Now employees stay and work
because they feel they really need a job.
In line with this study, previous research conducted by Situmorang (2012) showed that the
measurement of organizational commitment had met the reliability requirements with a Cronbach alpha value of
0.925. The results of Tania and Sutanto's (2013) research also showed that the measurement of organizational
commitment meets the reliability requirements with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.827. Other research results by
*Corresponding Author: Fatwa Tentama2 www.aijbm.com 153 | Page
 Affective Commitment, Continuance Commitment and Normative Commitment in Reflecting …

Tsai (2014) and Syauta, Troena, Setiawan, and Solimun (2012) also prove in their research that the
measurement of organizational commitment has met the reliability requirements with Cronbach alpha values of
0.875 and 0.825. Then the results of the study found by Hanaysha (2016) also show that organizational
commitment meets the reliability requirements with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.860. This comparison to the
results of this study shows that the scale of organizational commitment in this study has a better Cronbach alpha
value of 0.926. This shows that the scale of organizational commitment from the results of this study is
appropriate to be used or applied in expressing organizational commitment because it is supported by the results
of good construct validity and reliability.
The results of this study are expected to provide an overview of the validity and reliability of the
organizational commitment scale on employees so that it can be used as a reference by further research related
to organizational commitment variables.
VI. CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that: 1) The scale of
organizational commitment meets validity and reliability. 2) All aspects and indicators can form variables of
organizational commitment, namely affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative
commitment. The most dominant aspect that is able to reflect organizational commitment is the normative
commitment, and the weakest aspect that reflects organizational commitment is an ongoing commitment. In this
study, a measurement model of organizational commitment scale was formed in accordance with empirical data
obtained from the subject.
