As an attitude, commitment differs from the concept of job satisfaction
in several ways. To begin with, commitment as a construct is more global,
reflecting a general affective response to the organization as a whole. Job
satisfaction, on the other hand, reflects one’s response either to one’s job
or to certain aspects of one’s job. I-Ience, commitment emphasizes at-
tachment to the employing organization, including its goals and values,
while satisfaction emphasizes the specific task environment where an
employee performs his or her duties.
