Abstract: The commitment of people to the organization is an important asset and is an important element of human resource management. The goal of this paper was to identify the components of two organizational commitment and analyze their relationship in small enterprises in the metal – mechanical industry of Monclova, Coahuila. We examined 120 workers. A structured questionnaire for collection of data was used as developed by Meyer and Allen (1991). The questionnaire was a Likert scale, composed of 21 items which evaluated the Affective Commitment, Continuity and Normative. The analysis of reliability of the questionnaire yields a Coefficient Alpha of Cronbach’s equal to 0.898. Once the data were tabulated, we calculated frequencies, means, contingency coefficients and Significance Levels
