Resumen:
The fast pace of the globalized world has driven and dictated deadlines for increasingly
shorter products and services and has led organizations to operate for extended periods. The
use of the 24 hours a day has become necessary for the continuous operation of the
companies. In this context, it is evident that shift work is needed for higher productivity, but it
is also important that individuals develop commitment to the organization, and that the
organization achieves its objectives. Thus, in this perspective the objective of this work was to
identify the intensity of the bases of the organizational commitment in the diurnal and
nocturnal shifts of employees of the production of an ore company. In order to support the
work, a survey was conducted with the employees applying questionnaire, as well as using the
observation as another source of information collection. The method used was descriptive and
exploratory, based on the case study and observation. The research obtained percentages that
presented the intensity of the bases of the organizational commitment in the diurnal and
nocturnal shifts and the respective comparatives between the shifts. Thus, with the
verification of the most intense base present in each shift in which both showed the basis the
affective basis with greater intensity, it was observed that the work shift did not directly affect
the level of commitment that the individuals develop with the organization.
