Abstract
This paper examines the dimensionality of professional commitment amongst a sample of 240 South African
actuaries. Data were obtained, via a mailed questionnaire, from members of the South African Actuarial Society
employed in the financial services industry. Statistical analysis conducted on the data showed that the 3-component
model first proposed by Meyer, Allen and Smith (1993) is appropriate for understanding professional commitment
amongst South African professionals. The analysis also showed that South African actuaries are highly committed
to their profession.
