The empirical result showed that affective commitment
was positively related to shared vision.
Hypothesis 1A was supported. Staff felt emotionally
attached to the organization, felt a strong sense
of belonging and felt like part of the family. They
loved, and wanted to work for the organization.
Vision is the long-term direction of the organization,
and staff had a passion towards the vision.
They were willing to learn about and follow the
organizational vision. They would do whatever it
takes to make the organization become successful.
This concept is supported by the study of Parish,
Cadwallader and Busch (2008) who stated that
affective commitment influences employees’ perceptions
about improved performance and individual
learning.
