MODES OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT According to Meyer & Allens (1991) three component model of commitment, prior research indicated that there are 3 mind sets which can characterize an employees commitment to the Organization. They are as follows:
o Affective Commitment. o Continuance Commitment. o Normative Commitment.

MODES OF COMMITMENT

AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT: Affective Commitment is defined as the employee's positive emotional attachment to the organization. An employee who is affectively committed strongly identifies with the goals of the organization and desires to remain a part of the organization.

CONTINUANCE COMMITMENT: The individual commits to the organization because he/she perceives high costs of losing organizational membership, including economic costs (such as pension accruals) and social costs (friendship ties with co-workers) that would be incurred.

NORMATIVE COMMITMENT: The individual commits to and remains with an organization because of feelings of obligation. These feelings may derive from many sources. For example, the organization may have invested resources in training an employee who then feels a 'moral' obligation to put forth effort on the job and stay with the organization to 'repay the debt.

MOTIVES/DRIVES

Drives/Motives propel individuals to attain their goals or satisfy their needs. A psychological drive is a condition which causes a person to work in a particular direction. Both psychological & physiological drives push an individual towards achieving a certain goal or accomplishing a certain task. Motives constitute the core element in accomplishing the drive. Motives are classified as follows: Primary Motive. Secondary Motive:- Power motive, Achievement motive, Affiliation motive, Security motive, Status motive. General Motive.

GOALS & GOAL SETTING

In the process of attaining Organizational goals, employees should be given space to further their personal goals as well.

For e.g., an employees personal goal may be to earn a good salary & hone his skills, whereas the organizational goals may be to increase sales & return on investment. If the organization fails to facilitate the achievement of employees personal goals, in return to his contribution to the organization, he is unlikely to continue in that organization. Instead, he would prefer to join an organization which will offer him opportunities to achieve personal growth.
