Expectations are a relevant part of working life, but their effect on other variables in the field of organizational behavior remain poorly explored. Thus, this research tested a model in which organizational future expectations and career expectations in the organization acted as antecedents of affective organizational commitment and intention to quit. Professionals from several organizations (n=370) answered scales validated in Brazil. Organizational future expectations were related to affective organizational commitment and career expectations in the organization. The latter variable acted as an antecedent of affective organizational commitment and intention to quit. The organization’s sector and the future expectations of the participants act as moderates in the model. The discussion analyzes the temporal dimension of the individual-organization relationship and its importance to human resource management.
