This study examines the relationship between (1) individual values, (2) organizational and occupational commitment, and (3) organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and in-role performance in a sample of 192 teachers employed in 10 secular Jewish schools (response rate of 64%). The results showed that individual values were related to all commitment forms examined here, but contrary to expectations, there was no clear distinction between values that represent conservation and self-transcendence and values that represent openness to change and self-enhancement in terms of their relationship either to commitment or to behavioral outcomes. Likewise, there was no clear distinction between the three dimensions of commitment (affective, continuance, and normative) or two commitment foci (organizational and occupational) in terms of their relationships to different values. Unsurprisingly, the findings showed a strong effect of commitment on OCB and in-role performance. The findings show that both individual values and commitment are concepts that can increase our understanding of employees' behavior in the workplace. We conclude by emphasizing the need for further research on the relationship between values, commitment, and performance and by suggesting some directions for such research.
本研究考察了个体价值观（1）、组织和职业承诺（2）与组织公民行为（OCB）和角色内绩效（3）之间的关系，样本包括 192 名在 10 所世俗犹太学校工作的教师（回应率为 64%）。结果表明，个体价值观与所有被考察的承诺形式都有关系，但与预期相反，在价值观与承诺或行为结果的关系方面，既没有明显区别代表保守和超越自我的价值观与代表对变化和自我提升开放的价值观；也没有明显区别代表情感、持续和规范的承诺三个维度，或代表组织和职业的两个承诺焦点，在与不同价值观的关系方面。毫不奇怪，研究结果表明承诺对 OCB 和角色内绩效有很强的影响。研究结果表明，个体价值观和承诺都是可以增加我们对员工工作场所行为的理解的概念。最后，我们强调需要进一步研究价值观、承诺和绩效之间的关系，并提出了一些研究方向。
