According to current management perspective, organizational
commitment is believed to give rise to elements of self-induced satisfaction
and motivation crucial for performing both managerial and non-managerial
functions, irrespective of the type of organization. (Sayeed, 2001 : 15) In general,
a highly committed employee influences all spheres of work life including
those directly related to the profit-making behavior of the firm. Unlike their
committed counterpart, non-committed workforce seems to heighten problems
even beside their own non-functionality and at times, dysfunctionality. Declining
rate of participation and psychological withdrawal of employees are manifested
in the form of lower degrees of personal investment, poor risk taking behavior,
absenteeism, and presenteeism, aspects that could otherwise add efficiency
to the organization.
