| Abstract | This study examined how factors such as income, gender, and hierarchical level help to determine employee's level of attitudinal and behavioral commitment to their employers in the United States and Canada. Employers at 28 Canadian firms and 15 U.S. firms were asked to choose female respondents and match them with male respondents in positions of similar job complexity and responsibility. Subjects chosen were managers with supervisory, budget, hiring, and other such responsibilities. The final sample of 306 Canadian and 157 U.S. respondents completed the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. While cross-cultural differences were found to be limited, intra-cultural differences in behavioral commitment were apparent between subgroups within the individual countries. Data indicated that behavioral commitment based on gender differed in both countries, while income and hierarchical effects resulted in differences in behavioral commitment between groups only in Canada. The only significant difference between the countries was found in the respondents' level of behavioral commitment for high income earners. Since attitudinal commitment was apparently not affected by gender, income, hierarchical level, and inequality, it can be concluded that considering this dimension in studies of this type is pointless.
