    The document presents the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), which contains 15 statements that measure an employee's commitment to their organization. Respondents are asked to indicate their level of agreement with each statement on a 7-point scale. The statements probe how much effort employees are willing to put in, how loyal and proud they feel, whether they identify with the organization's values, and their desire to remain with the organization. The questionnaire was developed by Mowday et al. in 1979 to assess multiple facets of an individual's commitment to their employer.
