5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Straightforward., November 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Commitment in the Workplace: Theory, Research, and Application (Advanced Topics in Organizational Behavior) (Paperback)
This is the best book about commitment in the workplace so far as I am concerned. Readers may find the style of writing, contents and structure so clear and straightforward.

If you STILL recognise employees' commitment to their organisation is composed of only one dimension based upon "affection" or "identification", probably you're wrong. And if you find your coworkers and supervisors may seem committed to the organisation, their behaviours lead to various results, not simply determined as a good citizen's.

This book will give you a key to solve what we think about "complexed" commitment. Essential for MBA students, researchers and HR managers. Good work, in a word.
