Organizational Commitment and Entrepreneurial Intentions Among Employed Persons: Serbian Case

The paper presents the results of the study of the impact of dimensions of organizational commitment on individual entrepreneurial orientation dimensions, achievement dimension and the theory of planned behaviour dimensions. Respondents were wage-employed persons in organizations in Serbia. The sample included 540 respondents, out of 72 organizations. It has been shown that all three dimensions of organizational commitment have a statistically significant and negative impact on entrepreneurial intentions, with the strongest negative impact being the dimension of Organizational Loyalty. Likewise, regression analysis has shown that the dimension Organizational Loyalty assumes a predictive effect and that the effect of this dimension is statistically significant and negative. Thus, there is a strong negative link between the dimension Organizational loyalty with the dimension Subjective norm, attitude towards entrepreneurship, proactivity and need for achievement dimension. Organizational Identification dimension has a statistically significant and positive predictive effect on the dimensions Innovation and Subjective norm and the dimension Organizational involvement has a statistically significant and positive predictive effect on the dimensions Proactivity and Need for achievement.
