Abstract

This study examines the impact of employees' perceptions of information privacy on their affective commitment to work organizations. Based on a survey of 320 Chinese employees, the findings suggest that, for information privacy, perceptions of information handling control and of legitimacy of organizational information practices positively relate with affective commitment. The relationship between perception of information handling control and affective commitment is only significant, however, for employees identifying weakly with collectivism and is stronger for male than for female employees. The relationship between perception of legitimacy of organizational information practices and affective commitment is only salient for female employees. The implications of these findings for organizational and legal polices are discussed.
