one’s identity with and commitment to
a group are likely to be reduced as fewer day-to-day
interactions occur between the individual and other
members who belong to the group. The individual is
then not reminded daily of the group’s norms and
values, and may become enrolled in networks having
few conceptual links with her/his original group.
It follows that independence commitment is likely to
be impacted by the frequency of interactions that the
individual has, in the workplace, with fellow
accountants.
