Abstract In this paper, the formation process model of commitment integrated with basic psychological needs satisfaction is used to analyze the influence of Chinese and western cultural background on sensitivity of formation paths of organizational commitment. Based on the comparison of volition, responsibility, and dedication in philosophy and ethics, this study proposes that the sensitive formation paths of organizational commitment are from “salience, control” and “autonomy need and competence need satisfaction” to “organizational commitment in western cultural background”, and from “affect, trust” and “relatedness need satisfaction” to “organizational commitment” in Chinese cultural background.
