Abstract: The purpose of this article is to identify those antecedent factors affecting the commitment among professionals and managers of projects and initiatives that are part of the ecosystem of Digital Social Innovation (DSI) in Spain. These factors are related to the commitment experienced towards their job, as well as to their commitment to the cause or social goal pursued by the project or organization. The study of the literature allows the development of an iterative theoretical framework that measures the most relevant variables that affect the attitude of these actors. Finally, a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is carried out to test a new model looking for those antecedent attitudes that become core conditions to the success of organizational commitment. What emerges from the research is that the presence of antecedent factors that belong to the cognitive dimension leads to a high level of commitment, while the absence of some factors from the affective dimension, together with high levels of anxiety, lead to a lack of commitment.
