to stay committed towards the task. It is known as one of the important aspects that
emphasizes on the overall results obtained by the company as it showcase the dedication
level of the employees towards the goals. There are two types of organizational outcome
that emphasizes on the organizational commitment. Affective commitment and normative
commitment are the two types. In affective commitment the focus is on the positive
emotional feelings related with the company. The normative commitment considers the
moral obligations.
According to Dhar (2015), the organizational commitment is considered as the essential
factors related with the overall concept of organizational behaviour. It has been examined
that commitment level of the employees can only be maintained by emphasizing on the
factors such as turnover, performance and also the behaviour of the organizational
citizenship. The studies also revealed that trust has a direct link with the organizational
commitment, the cultural values and also the satisfaction level. The workers who perceive
that the support from the organization helps to upgrades the skills and it will also help to
find the better solutions in context to the work related issues can be committed towards
the task. Training can also be one of the essential aspects that can help in boosting the
commitment level of the employees towards the work. It helps to enhance the interest of
the employees towards the work.
