The scale was composed by the types: Affective, Affective/normative, Afiliation, Instrumental and Psychological Absence. The sample was constituted by 521 workers of the public service, trade, philanthropic companies, industry and schools, with ages between 16 and 73 years.. THE type of predominant compromising was the Affective (M=4,01), following for Afiliation (M=3,84), Affective/normative (M=3,42), Instrumental (M=2,42) and Psychological Absence (M=2,41).
