The conclusion has been made that there is a significant difference between private and public sector employee’s organizational commitment and effort propensity.Research limitations/implications – The sample was not selected randomly and, therefore, may not represent all population of Lithuanian employees. In addition, questions asking employees quite a sensitive and possibly discreet aspects related to their propensity to withhold effort at work may cause social desirability effect. The future research will need to determine whether organizational commitment could predict different forms of effort propensity, and to expand the current model of commitment's implications.Practical implications – The findings may give some references and be usefull for managers and HR consultants seeking employees who tend to offer en extra effort and less withdraw from work in various ways.Originality/Value – This is the first study to examine the relationship between organizational commitment and effort propensity in Lithuania.
