Solution
Organizational commitment
• Definition: A state in which an employee identifies with a particular organization and its
goals, and wishes to maintain membership in the organization.
• Research evidence demonstrates negative relationships between organizational commitment and both absenteeism and turnover.
• An individual’s level of organizational commitment is a better indicator of turnover than the far more frequently used job satisfaction predictor because it is a more global and enduring response to the organization as a whole than is job satisfaction.
• This evidence, most of which is more than two decades old, needs to be qualified to reflect the changing employee-employer relationship.
• Organizational commitment is probably less important as a job-related attitude than it once was because the unwritten “loyalty” contract in place when this research was conducted is no longer in place.
• In its place, we might expect “occupational commitment” to become a more relevant
variable because it better reflects today’s fluid workforce.
