Abstract: This study examines the factor structure and reliability of the affective organizational commitment scale in the Moroccan context. The main objective is to validate the scale with Moroccan employees by examining the representation of the affective dimension. A quantitative approach was adopted using principal component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The PCA analysis revealed that the affective dimension is divided into two components: Affective commitment and non-affective commitment. Subsequent confirmatory factor analysis indicated good model fit, suggesting opportunities to improve the scale's accuracy in future research. These results underline the importance of the scale for measuring affective organizational commitment in the Moroccan context.
