Organizational commitment is defined as the degree of an individual’s relations and experiences as a sense of loyalty toward one’s organization. In addition to loyalty, organizational commitment encompasses an individual's willingness to extend effort in order to further an organizations goals and the degree of alignment the organization has with the goals and values of the individual (Mowday, et al.1979). Organizational commitment refers to the extent to which an employee develops an attachment and feels a sense of allegiance to his or her employer (PSUWC, 2013). The emotional attachment that one may form with their company, would help to build a stronger commitment. In 2013 a study called "Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement" was conducted by SHRM, Society for Human Resource Management, revealing that 40% of employees were very satisfied, and 90% were somewhat satisfied ("SHRM," 2014). This would mean that only 40% of those employees were likely to have a strong emotional commitment towards their company. Allen and Meyer (1996) have defined organizational commitment as a psychological link between an employee and his or her organization that makes it less likely that the employee will voluntarily leave the organization. Organizational commitment is related to job satisfaction in that both deal with the nature of workers' emotional reactions to work. However, commitment can be applied to the entire organization, whereas satisfaction is applied to the specific job. Organizational commitment is viewed as more stable than satisfaction. An individual also relates commitment to job involvement and the level of job involvement.
