Abstract
The objective of this work is developing a tool that allows evaluating the level of the Organizational Commitment that the employees have regarding Human Resources Policies that have impact in this kind of commitment, for this study, it has been evaluated the psychometric properties of a questionnaire that will enable the implementation of People Management strategies aimed to improving the commitment of the employees. The questionnaire contains an ad hoc part (items on the perception of their policies), and another adapted part (organizational commitment questionnaire -OCQ- Porter) and was answered by 706 individuals (580 men and 126 women). The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes carried out show that the model that best fits the data obtained is a five-factor model: organizational commitment, management style, corporate communication and recognition, professional training and compensation. The internal consistency, estimated using the Cronbach's α coefficient, is adequate for both the total questionnaire, and each of the factors.
