Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this study was to investigate which commitment profiles exist among employees in companies in the Republic of Serbia. Another goal was to examine if there were differences in frequences of commitment profiles based on gender, age, organizational tenure, sector and position, as well as if personality traits discriminate different profiles. The starting point was Meyer and Allenʼs three-component model of organizational commitment, which differentiates three forms of commitment: affective, continuance and normative commitment. Based on sample size of 395 employees, the results showed that there were three different profiles among workers in companies in Serbia: affective/normative dominant, fully committed and uncommitted. Significant differences in the frequency of profiles were obtained between employees in private and public sector, between managers and workers, as well as differences based on organizational tenure. Extraversion and agreeableness from HEXACO personality model discriminated different organizational commitment profiles the best.
