This study investigated the influence of production team size (small vs. large) and employees' perceptions of their production work teams (negative, neutral, and positive) on their level of workplace commitment.Twenty-three production work teams composed of 205 employees (105 males, 100 females), drawn from two team-based private manufacturing organizations, participated in the study. They responded to the workgroup functioning scale and Buchanan's organizational commitment scale. Team size had no significant correlation with how employees perceived their production work team and their levels of workplace commitment. The results of the 2 × 3 analysis of variance indicated that production team size had no significant influence on workplace commitment. However, employees who had positive perceptions of their production work teams were significantly more committed to the workplace than were those who held either neutral or negative perceptions.
