English abstract This study compared two different structural models regarding the direct or mediation role satisfaction has in the prediction of commitment bond, in the context of a public and traditional Brazilian organization, the Military Police. A quantitative and qualitative combination of methods was used to measure relations hips between variables and to contextualize th e results found from 10,052 surveyed workers. We conducted interviews with six high command officers and a focus group comprised of seven members from the three highest organizational levels. C ontent analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were use d in the analysis process . Evidence was found that satisfaction with relationships is an antecedent of commitment, which mediates its relations hips with other variables, such as work and personal characteristics. Understanding the organization ’ s characteri stics and the use of a substantial sample of its employees simultaneously allowed for testing complex structural models and investigating a labor segment that has been neglected by commitment research
