A bank of reagents of these variables was selected and they were grouped in three scales: affective commitment, continuity commitment and implication. The factorial structure and internal consistency from the answers of 369 employees of a of telecommunications company were analyzed. Three empirical factors were showed trought exploratory facto-rial analysis. With an second order factorial analysis, these factors were grouped in a macrofactor that has a value of 2.2, this explained the 71.8% of the variance and showed an adecuated consistency (α = 0.80). This factor was denominated organizational commitment and represents the state in which the worker self identifies and extends an affective league with the organization, with its goals, and wishes to continue being a mem-ber of it.
