RAYAT AND BAHRA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT It is defined as the employee's positive emotional attachment to the organization. Meyer and Allen pegged AC as the desire component of organizational commitment. An employee who is affectively committed strongly identifies with the goals of the organization and desires to remain a part of the organization. This employee commits to the organization because he/she "wants to". This commitment can be influenced by many different demographic characteristics: age, tenure, sex, and education but these influences are neither strong nor consistent. The problem with these characteristics is that while they can be seen, they cannot be clearly defined. Meyer and Allen gave this example that positive relationships between tenure and commitment maybe due to tenure-related differences in job status and quality. Affective commitment refers to employees perceptions of their emotional attachment to or identification with their organization. The tendency of a worker to stay with a company that is based on an emotional attachment. An employee of a business who displays affective commitment to their company will often identify strongly with the company and its objectives, and might turn down offers to move to a new company, even if they seem more attractive financially.
