Two other important work-related attitudes arc organizational commitment and involvement. Organizational commitment is the individual's feeling of identification with and attachment to an organization. Involvement refers to a person's willingness to be a team member and work beyond the usual standards of the job. An employee with little involvement is motivated by extrinsic motivational factor and an employee with strong involvement is motivated by intrinsic motivational factors.
There are a number of factors that lead to commitment and involvement.
Both may increase with an employee's age and years with the organization, with
his sense of job security and participation in decision-making. If the
organization treats its employees fairly and provides reasonable rewards and
job security, employees are more likely to be satisfied and committed.
Involving employees in decision-making can also help to increase commitment. In
particular, designing jobs, which are interesting and stimulating, can enhance
job involvement.
