Based on commitment theory, this longitudinal study analyzes the contribution of affective commitment toward the Army to develop a predictive model to describe the voluntary resignation of commissioned officers in the Brazilian Army. Longitudinal data for 22,695 commissioned Brazilian Army officers from 2009 to 2014 were analyzed using a mixed logistic model, presenting, on average, five measures for each performance variable, which were obtained from periodic commissioned officers’ evaluations. Using these performance variables, we developed a statistical model to predict the probability of military personnel resigning early. This probability is a function of the school of origin and rank, together with the performance variables associated with the affective commitment toward the Army. The article concludes that higher levels of affective organizational commitment, in this study expressed by the concepts of military attitude, military posture, military discipline, and military leadership, lead to lower probability of voluntary early resignation.
