This study aimed to investigate how management influences people’s organizational commitment within units with remote organizational structures. Its importance lies in contributing to the understanding of what might facilitate the retention of talent in these units. It is characterized as qualitative and exploratory, based on study of multiple cases, and its proposed level of analysis is organizational. It was realized by field studies in a few units of six companies, in which sample population involved focal groups consisting of directors, managers, human resources staff, supervisors, and coordinators of each case. The collection of primary data was done through in-depth interviews and observations in operational areas; the collection of secondary data was done through analysis of documents. For analysis of the results, techniques involving content, document, and reflective analyses were used. Results show the existence of different practices for managing people, due to the specific context of each unit, leaving in evidence that the remote organizational structure encourages the search for the contribution and development of solidarity. From the respondents’ viewpoint, the level of organizational commitment is high, in line with the affective view advocated by the literature. This view is supported by the values that help create the identity of each of these organizational units, which tend to bring people together in all circumstances. The managers exert direct influence in the process of obtaining such commitment, facilitating everyone’s experiencing of these values. Notwithstanding this influence, the challenges for attraction and retention of talent – and their families – still remain, except in cases where the work regimens are such that families remain in their places of origin and the financial incentives, as well as the work regimen itself, outweigh the worker’s temporary absence from family life. The contributions that this research can generate are: aiding future analysis of the connection between management of people and organizational commitment in new organizational structures with remote units in Brazil and other countries; for academe, serving as a starting point for further research in the areas of administration, sociology, psychology, economics, and anthropology; for enterprises, serving as basis for a comparative study of the regions where they have remote units operating; to society, having the opportunity to benefit from actions being taken by these organizations throughout the country.
