Relationship Between Dedication and Absorption at Work: An Analysis of Organizational Commitment

Abstract

The present study analyzes the relationship between Absorption and Dedication in the work environment, evaluating how these two components of organizational commitment interact in the employee experience. Absorption refers to the ability of workers to become deeply involved in their tasks, while dedication is related to the degree of enthusiasm and meaning that employees assign to their work. It is hypothesized that there is a positive and significant relationship between absorption and dedication, suggesting that workers with greater dedication have higher levels of absorption in their functions. Understanding this interaction is essential to design organizational strategies that favor work engagement and optimize work performance. To evaluate this relationship, a quantitative approach based on simple linear regression was used. Data from a sample of employees from various organizations were analyzed, applying econometric techniques to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between absorption and dedication. The results indicate that the regression coefficient is positive and significant (p<0.05p < 0.05), which confirms the hypothesis that an increase in dedication is associated with greater absorption at work. In addition, the validation of the model through diagnostic tests confirms that it meets the assumptions of normality, homoscedasticity and correct specification. The findings suggest that strengthening employee engagement could be an effective strategy to improve employee absorption and engagement. From an organizational perspective, this implies the need to foster an environment that reinforces the sense of purpose at work and provides the resources necessary to keep employees motivated and focused on their tasks. It is recommended that future research include moderating variables, such as work autonomy and transformational leadership, in order to further explore the factors that can enhance or weaken this relationship.
