It has also been suggested that normative commitment develops on the basis of a particular kind of investment that the organization makes in the employee- specifically, investment that seem difficult for employees to reciprocate (Meyor & Allen,1991; Scholl,1981). These might include such things as organization sponsored tuition payments made on behalf of employees or a “nepotism” hiring policy that favors employees’ family members. Given norms of reciprocity (Gouldner,1960), it is argued that employees might find this sort of imbalance or indebtedness uncomfortable and, to rectify the imbalance, will feel a sense of obligation(normative commitment) to the organization. It is possible that individual (and cultural) differences exist in the extent to which people have internalized reciprocity norms and, therefore, in the extent to which organizational investments will lead to feeling of indebtedness.
