This study tries to find the discriminant validity of job, organizational, career, and relationship commitments among these work commitment forms. This study also tries to find the interrelationship among these commitment forms and the relationship of each of four commitment forms with the withdrawal intention, which is represented by turnover intention and career change intention.

The results of this study showed that the work commitment forms have discriminant validity. The analysis of interrelationship between commitment forms using SEM revealed that the more a social worker commits to his or her job, the more he/she commits to his/her job and the relationship with the client. In addition, job and organizational and career commitments affect turnover intention while career and relationship commitments affect career change intention. Therefore, to improve organizational management, it is necessary to understand diverse forms of work commitment as well as organizational commitment.

The purpose of this study explored the effects of supervisory relationship, conceptualized as working alliance, on social workers' working satisfaction and burnout. The consented participants were 68 supervisors and 80 supervisees working at Social Service Centers located in Seoul and Kyung-ki Province. Hierarchical linear model analyses of survey results from supervisors (n=68) and workers (n=80) revealed that the workers' sense of rapport within the supervisory relationship is related to working satisfaction. While it was expected that the supervisory relationship would also relate to levels of burnout, no association was found in the analyses. However, strong negative correlations were found between the supervisees' feelings of rapport within the supervisory relationship and both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The implication of future research and of social work practice and policy were added.
