Abstract
How does perceived social support, perceived supervisor support, and public

service motivation impact the affective organizational commitment among males

and females in high-reliability organizations? Questionnaire data from 181

respondents from the Norwegian Army were gathered then analyzed through

linear regression analysis. Gender differences were discovered for the impact of

perceived social support, perceived supervisor support, and public service

motivation on affective organizational commitment. Results show that perceived

supervisor support was found to be of statistical significance for both male and

female respondents. No effects on the construct level were revealed for perceived

social support or public service motivation, although effects on the dimension

level of both constructs were observed for both constructs. These effects were

observed for the perceived social support dimensions of ‘Attachment’ and ‘Social

Integration’, and the public service motivation dimensions of ‘Self-Sacrifice’ and

‘Commitment to Public Interest’. The effect of construct dimensions varied by

gender, indicating that males and females have different support needs and

motivations that increase their affective organizational commitment. A discussion

of the results ensues, with implications for how leaders and managers should cater

to employees to increase employee retainment.
