Abstract
This study examined the relationships of normative and affective facets of organizational commitment with experienced burnout within the framework of the Confucianbased Chinese culture. Data for this exploratory work were collected through a questionnaire survey of 147 employees of a Chineseowned bank in Hong Kong. The questionnaire consisted of scales on experienced burnout, organizational commitment, and work perceptions. Results showed that the mean score for normative commitment was significantly higher than the mean score for affective commitment. Regression analysis indicated that when age, tenure, organizational level, and work perceptions were controlled, normative commitment had a significant positive effect on experienced burnout, whereas affective commitment had no significant impact. Results are interpreted in the context of a Confucianbased Chinese managerial ideology and implications are drawn for future research.
