Abstract
Introduction
In today's era, one of the most important basic challenges of the human resource managers is to maintain capable employees in order to create the success of the organization and to use them optimally. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between the participative work climate and organizational commitment of employees in a military unit.
Method
The statistical population was the employees of the headquarters area of a military unit, and 184 people were selected as a statistical sample through a simple random sampling method. Instruments included Cooperative Climate Questionnaire (Djokovic et al., 2018), and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer & Allen, 1991). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and SPSS and AMOS software.
Results
The results showed that the cooperative climate and its dimensions (participation culture in the organization, support of work groups, employees' attitude and continuous monitoring) have a positive and significant effect on the organizational commitment of a military unit.
Discussion
As long as a military unit has a culture of participation, help, and cooperation, it can be expected that organizational commitment will spread to other employees as well. To the extent that team building and support of work groups are done well in this military unit, this climate of cooperation of work groups will make organizational commitment effective in this department.
