Organizational Commitment refers to the psychological attachment an employee has to their organization. It reflects how dedicated an individual is to their workplace and can influence their willingness to stay, perform well, and contribute positively to the organization's goals. High levels of commitment often lead to increased job satisfaction and lower turnover rates.
There are three main components of Organizational Commitment: affective commitment, which is emotional attachment; continuance commitment, which is based on the costs associated with leaving; and normative commitment, which involves a sense of obligation to remain. Understanding these components helps organizations foster a committed workforce.
