Abstract
High- and low-risk volunteers in addition to career fire fighters were surveyed regarding core self-evaluations and organizational commitment. Few differences were found between the three groups regarding the variables. All participants were identified as holding a similar fundamental self-evaluation regardless of group orientation. No differences were found in organizational commitment among the groups. However, further review of each component of the three component model did indicate that career fire fighters have higher continuance commitment than both types of volunteers. Levels of affective and normative commitment were identified to be consistent across all groups.
