Abstract

Organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) is a context-specific self-esteem construct specially formulated for organizational research. A study explores how cadets at the US Coast Guard Academy differ in terms of attitudes and behaviors according to their level of OBSE. Findings indicated that high OBSE cadets were more likely to have favorable work attitudes, such as, organizational commitment and general job satisfaction, and have less intention to leave.
