Abstract

The results, based on an experimental research in which 512 employees participated, show that organizational efforts to create an internal positive work environment and the existence of adequate working conditions to perform the task, becomes a critical requirement to get continuance commitment.
Asuperior external job offer reduces employee's continuance commitment, however this relationship is moderated by the internal work environment and working conditions. Gender, seniority, job position, marital status and educational level influence previous relationship.
