CHAPTER-IINTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Employees are considered to be the assets of the organizations. It lies with the

organizations as to how to effectively utilize these powerful resources. Today, the

workforces are more educated and it is a challenging task before the management to

handle these valuable assets. Besides these, the organizations, which are competitive

enough and are very flexible, can only survive in this market. It is essentially important

for any organization to recruit, attract and motivate people to achieve desired results. An

organization has to see through that the employees are more committed towards the work

rather than just be a part of the organization. Any organization is said to be a profitable

organization only if its employees are more committed towards the work. Such

commitment will lead to taking of initiative, responsibilities and more amounts of

contributions by the employees.

Human Resource Management policies are designed to “maximize organizational

integration, employee commitment, flexibility and quality of work”. The concept of

commitment plays an important part in the Human Resource management philosophy.

MEANING OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

Commitment refers to attachment and loyalty. As defined by MOWDRAYET (1982)

commitment consists of 3 components.

1) Identification with the goals and the values of the organization.

2) A desire to belong to the organization

3) A willingness to display effort on behalf of the organization.

The definition of commitment also emphasizes the importance of behavior in creating

commitment. Salancik defines commitment, as “It is a state of being in which an

individual becomes bound by his actions to beliefs that sustain his activities and his

own involvement”. Three features of behaviour are important in binding individuals

to their acts.

a) The visibility of the acts

b) The extent to which the outcomes are irrevocable

c) The degree to which the person undertakes the action voluntarily.

Commitment according to Salancik can be increased and harnessed to obtain support for

organizational ends and interests through such ploys as participation in decisions about

actions.

SIGNIFICANCE OF COMMITMENT:

There have been two schools of thought about commitment. One, “from control to

commitment school, was led by Walton (1985 a and b), who saw commitment strategy as

a more rewarding approach to Human Resource Management, in contrast to the

traditional strategy. The other, “Japanese/Excellence” school, is represented by writers

such as Pascale and Athos(1981) and Peters and Waterman (1982) who looked at the

Japanese model and related the achievement of excellence to getting the wholehearted

commitment of the workforce to the organization.

Organisational commitment involves the employee’s loyalty to the organisation and its

determine by the number of personal organizational and non-Organisational variable.

Recently commitment has been conceived as mainly three components affective

(emotional attachment), continuance (cost of leaving) and normative (obligation to stay).

The Organisational commitment attitude has mixed results but in general, is thoughts to

have somewhat strong relationship with Organisational outcome such as performance,

absenteeism and turn over.

FROM CONTROL TO COMMITMENT:

The importance of commitment was highlighted by Walton (1985 a and b). his theme

was that improved performance would result if the organization moved away from the

traditional control-oriented approach to workforce management, which relies upon

4

establishing order, exercising control and “Achieving efficiency in the application of

workforce”. He argued that his approach should be replaced by a commitment strategy.

He suggested that workers respond best and most creatively-not when they are tightly

controlled by the management , placed in narrowly defined jobs, and treated like an

unwelcome necessity, but, instead, when they are given broader responsibilities

encouraged to contribute and helped to achieve satisfaction in their work.

Walton (1985 a) suggested that in the new commitment-based approach “Jobs are

designed to be broader than before, to combine planning and implementation and to

include efforts to upgrade operation not just to maintain them. Individual responsibilities

are expected to change as conditional change, and teams, not individuals often are the

organizational units accountable for performance. With management hierarchies

relatively flat and differences in status minimized, control and lateral coordination

depend on shared goals. And expertise rather than formal position determines influences.

A commitment strategy does not sound like a crude attempt to manipulate people to

accept management’s values and goals as some have suggested. Infact, Walton does not

describe it as being instrumental in this manner. His perception is for a broad HRM

approach to the ways in which people are treated, jobs are designed and organizations are

managed. And he quotes a no. of examples in America where unions have cooperated

with management, talking about common interests and agreeing to sponsor quality of

working like programmers and employee involvement activities.

THE JAPANESE/EXCELLENCE SCHOOL:

Attempts made to explain the secret of Japanese Business success by such writers as

OUCHI(1981) and Pascale and Athos (1981) led to the theory that the best way to

motivate people is to get their full commitment to the values of the organization. By

leadership and involvement. This might be called the “Hearts and Minds” approach to

motivation, and, among other things, it popularized such devices as Quality Circles.

The baton was taken up by the Peters and Waterman (1982) and their imitators later in

1980s. this approach to excellence was summed up by Peters and Austin (1985) when

they wrote “trust people and treat them like adults, enthuse them by lively and

5

imaginative leadership, develop and demonstrate and your workforce will respond with

total commitment.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

1. To identify the factors that influence employee commitment

2. To study the level of attitudes of employee based on those factors and understand

the level of commitment among employees.

1.3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Significance of the Study

The main objective of research is to find out to truth. The research helps to gain

familiarity with the phenomenon or to achieve new insight into it. Research in common

parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Research, simply put, is an endeavour to

discover answer to problems through the applications and scientific method to the

knowable universe.

Statement of the Problem

Managers of all kinds of organisation are looking at ways to make workers enjoy that

they do so that productivity improved. Today most multi national and Indian companies

have made the employee satisfaction index a key in put in to the performance evaluation

process for department and company heads. It has been proved in a landmark research

done by IFFALDANO and MUCHINSKY in 1985 that employee satisfaction does not

necessarily lead to productivity. The correlation between satisfaction and productivity is

as low as 0.17.

It was realise that employee satisfaction has lost some values as surrogate measures for

work place efficiency. It is in the context that organisation behaviour scientist explore the

dimension of employee commitment.

Research Methodology

All the methods used by social scientists in their fact-finding mission constitute

methodology. In that way, Research methodology is defined as the procedures adopted by

the researchers to go about their work of describing, explaining and predicting

phenomena. It helps the social scientists to describe, justify and explain the outcome of

many findings.

Title of the study

The Title of the Research is "A Study on employee commitment

8

Research Design

Research design is a blueprint for the study. According Pauline V. Young, a research

design is the logical and systematic planning and directing a piece of research. It gives an

outline of the structure and process of the research programme.

The research design used for the current study is descriptive research design.

Universe

Universe is the aggregate of all units possessing certain specified characteristics on which

the sample seeks to draw inferences. The universe for the study is all the employees who

are working in MM TOOLS

Tool of Data collection

The Researcher based on the objectives of the Study prepared a Structured Questionnaire.

A questionnaire is a form prepared and distributed to secure responses to certain

questions related to the study. The Questionnaire prepared by the researcher mainly

consists of the following:

1. Personal profile of the Respondents.

2. Identifying employee commitment based on the factors

Like Job role integer ration and challenges, company brand and synergistic

relationship, trust and confidence in organisation, carer growth and

development and Job satisfaction.

Pre-testing

The researcher conducted pre testing of questionnaire in order to ascertain the validity of

the created tool. So, pre- testing was carried out among few respondents in order to

detect the discrepancies that have crept in and to remove them after necessary

modifications in the questionnaire.

9

Data collection

Data Collection was carried out at MM TOOLS .The questionnaire was administered to

the respondents through the HR Personnel of the organisation. The responses from the

employees were quite encouraging.

Process of Data analysis

Data collected through Questionnaire was administered in SPSS (Statistical Package for

Social Sciences.) by which data was tabulated. Later data was interpreted to emerge with

findings.

Limitations of the Study

The researcher was less accessible with the respondents, so the real feeling of them could

not be assessed.

Many respondents were reluctant to let out some of their personal information.

CHAPTER – IIREVIEW OF LITERATURE

11

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The issue on measuring employee commitment given on Human capital Edition dated

Jan’2002

Managers of all kinds of organizations are working at ways to make workers enjoy what

they do so that productivity improves.

Today, most multinational and many Indian companies have made the employee

satisfaction index a key input in to the performance evaluation process for department

and company heads. It has been proved in a landmark research done by Iffaldano and

Muchinsky in 1985 that employee satisfaction does not necessarily lead to productivity.

The correlation between satisfaction and productivity is as low as 0.17

It was realized that employee satisfaction has lost some value as a surrogate measure for

workplace efficiency. It is in this context that organizational behavior scientists explored

the dimension of employee commitment.

Employee commitment is thought to be manifested in three ways:

1) The committed employee actively wants to remain part of the organization and not just for security.

2) The committed employee is willing to go to the extra mile on the organisations’ behalf.

3) The committed employee believes in and adheres to the companys’s value

MEASURING EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT:

The most widely used measure of commitment in the business world today is the one

developed by a South African market research firm called research surveys. It has been

used in 50 countries worldwide and in India, it is offered by ORGMARG

12

The measurement of commitment in this model ACE (assessing commitment of

employees) is through a composite of four variables.

The first variable is needs fit. Different people look for different things from their

employers. Some want job security, some others want money and yet others want career

growth. The extent to which organization fulfills the respective needs affects

commitment.

The second variable is the extent to which the employees are attracted towards option

outside the current company strong attraction towards the outside naturally reduces the

commitment to the organization.

The third and crucial measure is the extent to which the employee cares about work.

The fourth and final measure is ambivalence. Ambivalence occurs when employees are

not clear about what the choices mean to them and how well differentiated they are from

each other.

MATERIAL ON EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT STUDIES BROWSED ON THE

WEBSITE:

Across the business landscape, we may find organizations battling for workforce share,

just as they battle for market share. In today’s business environment, it is imperative that

organizations learn to attract, motivate and retain the key talent needed to meet

aggressive business goals. A committed workforce is the hallmark of successful

organization. Committed employees are more productive and work with a focus on

quality and the profitability of the organization.

NATIONAL AND INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT RESEARCH

Through national employee research AON was the first to investigate employee

commitment in the U.S and around the world – defining it, measuring it, and, above all,

helping organizations maximize it. The continuing research, at both the national and

13

industry level, has given AON the necessary data to keep organizations identify the steps

needed to build commitment and to measure how it is tied to profitability.

HELPING ORGANIZATIONS WITH CUSTOMIZED EMPLOYEE SURVEYS:

Using the yearly national and industry benchmark research, statistical analysis, and

industry-leading dual-scale technology, the organizations are provided with customized,

survey-based employee studies and assessments. These studies enable the organizations

to :

1. Increase employee commitment and productivity

2. Decrease turnover

3. Increase customer satisfaction

4. Improve benefits program design to leverage limited dollars and increase employee commitment

5. Develop a strategic attraction and retention program

6. Focus on where to place organization improvement dollars to have the maximum effect on employee commitment

7. Identify organizational strengths on which future gains in employee commitment can be built.

A study can be conducted to meet these important objectives. A multi-phase process can

be used to gather and review data in order to make recommendations an which we can act

upon.

AON offers five studies that can be conducted for any organization’s needs:

Employee benefits contribute significantly to an employees commitment and loyalty to

an organization- they are also enormously expensive for the employer. It is therefore

important that employers leverage the available benefits dollars by ensuring they are

spent on the benefits most important to the employee.

14

The benefits@work survey is the first step in leveraging benefits for maximizing effect.

This AON study examines employees’ experience with current benefits, the importance

of each benefit in relation to employee commitment and opinions about possible future

benefit offerings.

A CUSTOM STUDY

Benefits packages are unique to the organization; therefore the benefit surveys must also

be unique. AON uses a comprehensive question bank to tailor each survey to the research

specifications. Surveys are designed to assess areas such as :

current benefits

medical, financial and retirement benefits

communications

spending benefits dollars

workforce commitment

benefits linked to workforce commitment

BENEFITS AND WORKFORCE COMMITMENT:

The effect of benefits on employee loyalty is a long – held assumption. The benefits

@work survey measures that relationship. The survey includes the questions that measure

the workforce commitment index (WCI), AON’s national measure of employee loyalty.

An organization’s WCI is compared to the national WCI, providing a context in which to

judge the performance. Additionally, employees evaluations of benefits are correlated to

the WCI, revealing the extent which specific benefits affect commitment.

As the importance of benefits in fostering employee loyalty grows, providing the right

package is critical to organizational success. Designing the right benefit package requires

the direction and focus that only a tested, validated assessment can provide.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION@ WORK

In the high – technology industry, where there are over 1.6 million open positions, the

issue of workforce commitment and retention is paramount. The days of job security and

life-long loyalty to an organization have disapproved, but a new kind of commitment has

evolved. The nature of this new commitment is a value exchange between the employer

and employee. With this in mind, AON created the high-technology organization@work

employee survey, customized for client organizations and based on norms established in

the National High- Technology@work-study.

Custom studies of commitment in individual high –technology organizations focus on

those areas found to be critical to high-technology workers, as well as those workplace

practices found to drive commitment in all organizations. The study will

1. Provide a measure of workforce commitment in the organizations;

2. Compare the level of commitment to the national high-technology norm;

3. Explore employees perceptions of workplace practices in the organization; and

4. Determine which practices most impact commitment in the organization

AON also helps the organization build and implement a workforce performance plan

designed to increase employee commitment, retention, and productivity.

The QUESTIONNAIRE ON THE HIGH-TECHOLOGY ORGANIZATION

@WOKSTUDY employees are asked to rate, and rank in importance, their experience

with both the organization and their work group on several items in each of the five key

categories:

safety/security

rewards

affiliation

growth

work/life harmony

16

mailto:Technology@work-study

mailto:organization@work

This dual –scaled approach allows for both an evaluation of the company’s performance

on each item and for the prioritization of items in future improvement plans conducting

an organizational assessment of this type will uniquely position the organization to offer

best-in-class services through employees who are committed to their jobs and to the

organization.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROCESS ( POSITIVE DISCIPLINE)

It is ORNL policy to identify, communicate and address as early as possible when job

performance is below expected standards. Performance it becomes apparent that an

employee is not meeting expected performance standards. Supervisors should not wait

until the end of the review period to communicate the need to improve performance, if

the need to improve is identified earlier in the period.

The performance improvement component of the performance management process

consists of both informal actions and formal actions. (while it is recommended that all

actions relating to corrective performance be documented, the level of documentation is

critical at the formal actions stage). Employees may enter the process at either state

depending on the circumstances.

Informal actions are appropriate for situations when minor performance improvement is

needed, when it is the first time the employee has been in need of performance

improvement intervention, or if there is clearly defined skills mismatch.

INFORMAL ACTIONS

Coaching and counseling, in many cases, informal coaching and counseling will be all

that is necessary to facilitate improved performance. The objective of counseling is to

keep the employee recognize and solve the problem, early on. When a problem occurs or

begin to develop regarding work performance the manager should discuss the situation

with the employee before it becomes serious. During such a discussion, the manager

should explain exactly what the performance expectation is and specifically how the

employee is failing to meet it. Once the employees agrees (or atleast understands) that he

17

or she is accountable for meeting expectations, the employee and manager should jointly

explore steps the employee might take to ensure he or she meets expectations in the

future. Ideally, the employee and manager will agree on the approach that will be taken to

solve the problem. It the agreement cannot be reached, it is the manager’s responsibility

to ensure that the employee understands what he or she must do to solve the problem, and

consequences for the employee if the problem is not resolved. The manager also needs to

tell the employee how and when he or she will follow up to provide additional feedback

on progress against the agreement.

FORMAL ACTIONS

The formal actions for performance improvement include an oral reminder, a written

reminder, and a final warning accompanied by a decision- making leave. At each step,

managers must meet with the employee. Managers should consult with the HR generalist

before initiating the formal action.

Step 1 – Oral Reminder

The oral reminder is a coaching session in which the manager and employee discuss the

problem, clarify the expectations and develop solutions that will lead to improvement.

The employee will be asked to commit to correcting the performance problem and will be

told that this is an oral warning, which is the first step of the formal performance

improvement process. The employee will also be informed of the consequences if the

problem is nor resolved. Supervisors should discuss with the next level of supervision.

Step 2 - Written Reminder

If, after the oral warning, performance does not improve to the level necessary to meet

expectations or if the performance continues to decline, a written reminder session will be

conducted. During this session, the employee will be reminded of prior commitments that

have not been met. Performance expectations will be clarified and steps for improvement

developed. The supervisor should seek to obtain the employers’ commitment to resolve

the problem, if possible. Consequences for failure to correct the problem should be stated

18

and the employee should be told that this is the second step of the formal performance

improvement process. Initiation of this process requires the concurrence of the next level

of management.

Step 3 – Final Warning

If, after the final warning, performance does not improve to the level necessary to meet

the expectations, or if performance continues to be decline, a final warning will be given.

A session will be held in which the employee will be reminded of prior commitments that

have not been met and performance expectations clarified. The employee will then be

given one day off with pay ( a decision-making leave) during which time he or she will

decide whether he or she can decide whether he or she can meet performance

expectations. Initiation of this step requires the concurrence of the division Director and

Review with the Director of Human Resources. The employee will be told of the

consequences for failure to correct the problem, which, in most cases, would be

termination of employment.

DURATION OF STEPS:

The duration of each step (oral warning, written warning, final warning) will vary

depending on the performance issue and on the employee's progress. Normally, each step

would last from 30 to 90 days. No matter what the stated duration of the step, additional

action (the next step or implementation of consequences) may be taken before the stated

end of the step if the performance continues to decline noticeably or the employee does

not make a good faith effort to meet expectations. Actions should be more immediate and

rehabilitative efforts abbreviated for employees who have been with ORNL or in the

given job for only a short time (<1 yr.). By acting promptly and decisively, the

organization can avoid long-term problems.

CHAPTER – IIIANALYSIS

Respondents by Department

Every organization consists of number of departments and the contribution of each

department varies according to its function. In manufacturing or software industry the

focus is more on the core function than the support function. Importance of each

department determines the level of commitment in the organization

The above table represents that little more than one third of the respondents (35%) are in

the shipping and administration department and one fourth (26%) of the respondents are

in the production department. While the rest of the respondents fall in the maintenance

and the quality department. (i.e.) little more than one fifth (21%) and one tenth (10%)

respectively.

Thus it can be inferred that little more than two third of the respondents are in the

shipping and administration department.

27

Respondents by Designation

Cadre is the level given to the individuals based on the educational Qualification (or)

experiences (or) combination of both with certain prescribed set of department and

authority.

The table above describes the distribution of respondents by their designation. It shows

that little more than one fourth of the respondents (28%) are in the operator cadre and one

fourth (25%) of the respondents are in the inspector cadre. And the remaining fall in the

cadre of fork lift operator and others. Others refer to the carpenter, electrician and

purchasing assistance.

Therefore we can infer that majority of the respondents belong to the operator cadre and

this variation in the categories and number of respondents can be attributed to the

sampling technique adopted in the study, which is simple random sampling.

28

Respondents by Age

Hurlock (1959) in her book on developmental stages of man explains that the age of

adulthood is a creativity period. Where there are new life style and adjustment enhanced

skill abilities. High level of motivation and learning and aptitude thinking due to the

carrier advancement are few characteristics of this period of human growth. There fore

age acts as an important factor in determining the learning ability of the individuals.

age group of above 35.

It is a very evident that a little less than three fourth of the respondents are in the age

group of below 35 years..

29

Respondents by Educational Qualification

Educational qualification of the individual will definitely influence the extent of learning.

Hence their commitment in the work also depends on the educational background of the

employees.

background.

Hence from the table it can be inferred that majority of the respondents in the non-

technical qualification and the organisation moulds them accordingly.

30

Respondent by Experience

Experience may be explained as the years of service that a person has put in a

organization or a field. In this context the years of experience refers to the years of

service that the respondent has put in the field of study (i.e.) in the present organization.

The commitment level of an individual also depends on the experience that an individual

posses.

experience of below 5 years.

. Hence from the table it can be inferred that most of the respondents have above five

years of work experience .

31

Respondents by Martial Status

Marital status can be defined as a state that whether an individual has been married or

unmarried. Hence marital status also has some relationship with that of the commitment

level of an individual towards his work.

This table describes that most (83%) of the respondents are married and while little less

Hence it can be inferred that most of the respondents are married irrespective of their age

category and income level.

32

Respondents by Income

Income is the monitory benefit given to an individual for the work that the individual has

put in the organization. So the monthly income also plays a vital role in determining the

level of commitment of the employees.

Table No: 7

below ten thousand as their monthly income.

The above table represents that most of them draw the salary above ten thousand and

ensures that organisation pays well for its employees.

33

Respondents by Number of Family Members

Family background of the employees also definitely influences the extent of commitment

level. The table above describes the distribution of respondents by their family members.

The table depicts the distribution of respondents with respect to their trust and confidence

level in the organization. It conveys that majority of the respondents (51%) have low

level of trust and confidence level in the organization while little more than two fifth of

the respondents (48%) have high level of trust and confidence level in the organization.

Career growth and confidence:

Career growth and development in the table states that majority of the respondents (81%)

have low level of career growth and development while little less than one fifth of the

respondents (18%) have high level of career growth and development.

Job satisfaction:

The table above also depicts the respondents with respect to their job satisfaction.

Majority of the respondents (53%) have high level of job satisfaction and remaining

(47%) have low level of job satisfaction.

The table on the overall weighs the contribution of the factors. We can infer that total

satisfaction level significantly contributes to the employee commitment. And trust and

confidence in the employees also plays a major role in the employee commitment.

Company Brand and Synergistic Work relationship though not a major contributor,

notably ensures employee commitment. Both job role integration and career

growth/development contributes to a minimum for the employee commitment.

Chi-Square Value: .616(b) with 1d.f Insignificant at 0.05 level

The above table shows the distribution of respondents by their department and their level

of commitment.

It can be seen from the above table that employee commitment is found to be high among

a little less than three fourth (74%) of the respondents of the Administration department

when compared to the Production Department.

Similarly, a little less than two fifth (37%) of the respondents of Production department

have low level of commitment.

Thus it can be inferred that level of commitment is found to be high among the

respondents of Administration department.

Since the calculated value of the Chi-Square is less than the tabulated value, there is no

statistical significance between the level of commitment of the employees and the

designation of the respondents.
