Question

. Three organizations (A, B, and C) were developed recently. Each of the organizations makes and serves ice cream. In addition, they each have a very committed work force. Organization A has a workforce that are all affectively committed; organization B’s workers all score high on the continuance commitment scale, and those that work for organization C are all high in normative commitment. If the three organizations continue with the employees as they are, what will happen? Which would be most successful and why?

Answer 1

The employees who are affectively committed. strongly identifiy with the goals of the organization. They have the desire to work and remain in the oranization. They want to stay in the organization and will stay in the organization due to ones own inner motivation. The employees who have continuance commitment will stay in the organiation because they think that if the lose the job, it will affect their career adversely and they fear losing the job. The employees who have high normative commitment will stay in the job because they think it is the right thing to do. They feel that levaing the oragnization would have bad consequences.

The emploees who are high on affective committment are the most succesfull as they are the most committed to their organiation. They are satisfied with their work and identify with the goals of the organization. Whereas, those who are high on normative commitment and continuance commitment may work in the organizaion only because they may fell obligated to do it, and because they may feel it is the right thing to do. If these employees get a better offers from other place then they are likely to move away from the organization.
