Types of Organizational Commitment
Organizational commitment refers to the psychological attachment and loyalty an employee feels towards their organization. There are three primary types of organizational commitment:
- Affective commitment - “I want to…”
- Normative commitment - “I ought to…”
- Continuance commitment - “I have to…”
The worst thing however, is that the continuance types of people are the ones who tend to stay. Because they feel like they have to, and thus, they tend to do the bare minimum.
