      ab: Affective commitment could significantly reduce turnover and improve the quality of service within rehabilitation counseling. Yet, little is known in the field about factors that influence commitment to the agency. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of organizational socialization from a content perspective on the affective commitment of rehabilitation counselors. One hundred sixty eight (N =168) newly hired rehabilitation counselors in the United States were randomly recruited for the study. The results show that socialization content positively predicted the extent to which rehabilitation counselors committed to the agency and that knowledge specific to the agency's goals and values had the greatest impact on their decision to commit.
