This article examines organizational commitment, particularly among female officers in the U.S. Navy. The researcher sought to determine the effects of leadership style and perceived organizational support (POS) on officers' decisions to remain in or depart the Navy. According to the study, officers' levels of commitment, particularly affective commitment (emotional connection) and normative commitment (feeling of duty), increase when they perceive that the Navy is supporting them and when they have excellent leadership.
The research used Meyer and Allen’s three-component model of commitment. Officers who felt like the Navy valued their work and had good leadership were less likely to want to leave. The study suggests that improving how leadership communicates and increasing support could improve commitment across the Navy, not just with women officers. Even though the focus was on women, the findings can apply broadly to how the Navy manages retention and motivation.
2. Topic and Organization
Topic: Organizational Commitment Organization: U.S. Navy
3. Research Theory
The Three-Component Model of Organizational Commitment by Meyer and Allen is used in this article. Normative commitment (the moral duty to stay), continuation commitment (the expense of quitting), and affective commitment (emotional connection) are all included in the paradigm. This means that in the Navy, people stay because they feel a sense of loyalty and emotional attachment to the service, in addition to the pay and perks. According to the study, affective and normative commitment rises when people experience strong leadership and support.

Research Paper Assignment Instructions
Overview
Please refer to the Article Submission Assignment from the beginning of the course to complete the Research Paper Assignment. Please follow and format your paper accordingly.
Instructions
Step 1
In the beginning of this course, you submitted a scholarly, peer-reviewed article for approval. For this research paper, you will discuss the importance of that article in regards to organizational behavior while using the problem-solving, integrative framework learned in Chapter 1. With your organizational problem, provide the following information:
1. Brief summary of your organization.
2. Synopsis of the organizational challenges (Step 1 on the problem-solving approach)
· What is the major overriding issue?
· Provide the facts and examples to support the explanation of the problem.
· Discuss key issues that merit the discussion.
3. Who are the various individuals and what part do they play? (Step 2 on the problem-solving approach)
· What challenges, threats, or opportunities do they pose?
· Explain the role of leadership in the situation.
· Provide any environmental issues that should be considered.
As you discuss these areas to address the first portion of the problem-solving framework, provide examples and research to support your discussion.
Step 2
Now that you have laid the foundation of the problem, explain how the theory you researched applies. Provide in depth analysis with your article as the main evidence.
1. Explain the author’s current view on the chosen organizational theory and how it relates to your problem.
2. Provide key indicators that the author applies from theory to the concept in organizational behavior.
3. Discuss what you believe are the most relevant portions of the article that tie the theory and concepts with your organizational issue to create an explanation for the problem. In other words, if you had to explain the organizational issue to someone, how would you relate it to what the author has stated?
Step 3
The final process (Step 3) in the problem-solving framework is recommendations. Based on your research, use this final step to provide recommendation plans for the problem. Do you want to resolve, solve, or dissolve the problem? Consider the consequences as well for the plan of action in your recommendation. Use well-thought-out ideas and research to support your plan. Describe where you see your personality style fitting into your recommendation for the organization to make your plan work, to tie in the previous papers. Apply what you have learned through Scripture, describing how the Lord can utilize your strengths to implement the recommendation plan.
Formatting
1. Use proper, current APA format for every element of the paper. Be sure to include the APA-formatted cover page, abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA manual for help. Since this is a graduate level course, students need to follow the professional version format and not the student version format.
2. Write in first person—this is allowed due to the personal nature of the assignment.
3. To facilitate the instructor’s grading of these assignments, you must have major headings for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Additionally, under the major headings, you must have subheadings as you see fit for the outlined instructions.
4. The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each section is your decision; your instructor will not be grading you on how many paragraphs you used per section, but rather the extent to which you specifically addressed each of the areas above.
5. The last section of the project needs to include a conclusion. The conclusion should be a well-rounded summary of the topics in the paper and should suggest a variety of opportunities for future use of topics/relevance/purpose.
6. The 8–10 required pages do not include the title page, abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as additional pages.
7. Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font only, use 1-inch margins, and avoid bold font (except for headlines, per current APA format), underlining, and contractions.
8. The reference page must include a minimum of the 5 following references in current APA format (all sources must be evident within the paper):
· The approved article for research
· Both of the course textbook(s)
· 2 other scholarly sources from a peer-reviewed journal
Note: For further questions regarding current APA format, visit Liberty University’s Online Writing Center.
Submit the Research Paper Draft Assignment to the appropriately labeled Turnitin link first to review your percentage of originality. Then submit the Research Paper Final Assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned Module: Week.
