Abstract

The challenges of today’s working life lead to stressful experiences and therefore to different types of coping patterns. The relationship between these coping patterns and organizational and professional commitment is not yet fully researched. This study has been conducted with about 180 participants using the questionnaires Work-related Behavior and Experience Patterns (AVEM—AVEM is the acronym for “Arbeitsorientiertes Verhaltens—und Erlebensmuster”which translates to Work-related Behavior and Experience Patterns) and the Test of Affective, Normative and Continuous Commitment to the Organization, the Profession and the Type of Employment. The results showed a significant correlation between coping patterns and organizational and professional commitment. The findings support the assumption that coping patterns indicate certain types of commitment and individual attitudes. The type of coping pattern should therefore be monitored closely in order to avoid the negative withdrawal behavior that entails a lack of commitment.
