Organizational commitment is the degree to
which an employee identifies with the
organization and wants to continue actively
participating in it . Organizations, however, are
complex and made up of number of divisions
each with their own agendas and goals.
Commitment can therefore be directed at
specific aspects of a person’s job such as
department, location, and trade unions.

cannot afford to leave the organization.
