Abstract: Companies and trade unions are two important forces in China's labour relations, both of which have a significant impact on employees' subjective well-being. From the perspective of multi-target multi-mindset commitment, a person-centred approach is applied in this study to explore the influence of dual commitment to the company and union on employees' subjective well-being. Nine-hundred and fifty-nine union members were surveyed and the data was analysed via latent profile analysis. Six profiles of commitment were identified. And it is found that employees with high affective commitment demonstrated higher subjective well-being than others. The uncommitted employees scored lowest on life satisfaction, while the CC-dominant to the company scored lowest on positive affect and highest on negative affect. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Keywords: company commitment; union commitment; dual commitment; subjective well-being; life satisfaction; positive affect; negative affect; latent profile analysis; LPA; person-centred approach. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
