In a quasi-experimental design, organizational mission was examined as an influence on individual behavior of members. Workers in an organization with a high value-content-mission exhibited higher normative commitment than workers in a control (neutral mission) organization. No differences were found, however, in instrumental commitment. This finding supports the distinction between normative and instrumental processes in a motivational analysis.
