Abstract(s)
Apesar da conceptualização do comprometimento datar de 1960, e de existir um elevado
número de estudos empíricos, o estudo de comprometimentos com diferentes objetos (foci
ou target) é recente, não havendo ainda muitas investigações que abordem a relação entre
diferentes comprometimentos, particularmente em contexto militar. Neste enquadramento,
o presente estudo identifica de que forma as categorias profissionais militares na Força Aérea
Portuguesa (FA) moderam a relação entre o comprometimento com o superior hierárquico e o comprometimento organizacional. A amostra, de conveniência, é constituída por
militares da FA, num total de 364 participantes, distribuídos pelas categorias profissionais
militares de oficial, sargento e praça. A investigação é de cariz quantitativo, alicerçada
em duas escalas e fazendo recurso a modelos de equações estruturais. Os resultados
demonstraram a unidimensionalidade do comprometimento com o superior hierárquico,
evidenciando a determinação do constructo sobre as componentes afetiva e normativa do
comprometimento organizacional. Os resultados permitiram também aferir a existência de
um efeito de moderação da variável categoria militar sobre a relação entre os constructos
comprometimento com o superior hierárquico e o comprometimento organizacional.

The present study identifies how member countries of the Portuguese Air Force (FA) moderate the relationship between commitment to the hierarchical superior and the organizational commitment. A sample, of convenience, made up of FA military personnel in a total of 364 participants belonging to the military categories of the military, officer, sergeant and corporal. The research is of quantitative nature, based on two scales and making use of models of structural equations. The results showed a unidimensionality of the commitment with the superior hierarchical, evidencing a determination of the construct about as affective and normative components of the organizational commitment. The results also allowed us to verify the existence of a moderating effect of the military category variable on a relationship between the constructs committed to the superior hierarchical and the organizational commitment.
