Abstract

The increasing number of non-profit organizations followed by the needs of having committed members and also the weaknesses in the existing instruments of organizational commitment encourages the development of a Non-Profit Organizational Commitment Scale (NPOCS). NPOCS was developed based on Three-Component Model, a model implying that commitment towards an organization consists of three components; affective, normative, and continuance aimed to describe organizational commitment in the non-profit context. Participants are 74 members of non-profit organizations in Greater Jakarta area. NPOCS consist of 45 items by using a 4-point Likert scale. The reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha showed that NPOCS has high internal consistency, either total (α = .89) or each component (α affective commitment = .82; α normative commitment = .78; and α continuance commitment = .76). The validity testing using concurrent validity with turnover intention as its criterion suggested that NPOCS is valid in describing current trend of turnover intention in members of the non-profit organization, either total or each component (p<0.05). The result from item discrimination analysis indicates that most items in NPOCS could distinguish individuals who have high and low organizational commitment. From all the psychometric analysis of NPOCS, 30 best items were selected.
