Construct validity of Meyer and Allen’s Three Component Model Pages 2
Researchers have studied the construct validity of Meyer and Allen’s (1991) three-component model of commitment along with its measures and found a strong support for the scale. Allen and Meyer (1996) reviewed the model with a revised scale by review of 40 sample and found the same validity.
Despite the supportive evidence by validity among 40 samples of Allen and Meyer (1996) scale still some important matters of conceptualization and measurement are pointed out by social scientist. Firstly, if we look into the uniformity of the continuance commitment scale. McGee and Ford (1987) identified two sub-dimensions of continuance commitment. These dimensions were summed as ‘Low job alternatives’ and ‘High personal sacrifice’. The ‘Low job alternatives’ viewed that people do not turnover from the organizations because they do not have other alternative, and ‘High personal sacrifices’ suggests that people stay because they do not want to lose their investments of years which the have spend in the organization relationship for their future (e.g., pension). These finding were studied under the umbrella of dimensionality of continuance commitment by other researches and they also confirmed the above sub dimensions. see (Dunham, Grube, & Castaneda, 1994; Hackett et al., 1994; Meyer, Allen, & Gellatly, 1990; Somers, 1993).
Another argument which brings a doubt to the validity of the three component model of commitment is that, high correlations between the antecedents of affective commitment and normative commitment dimensions exist, confirmed by researches including Meyer and Allen. The fact of the matter that the distinction between theses two components of commi...

Social attachment drives an individual to value what other people think of them. They do not want to do anything that would risk the emotional bond they have formed with the people they value in their lives. The second element is commitment. Commitment refers to the time and effort that is spent building a normal life. It is the commitment each individual spends working hard in their life toward success, whether it is regarding your education or career, or building your status and character.
There were a few issues of fairness presented in Michael Simpson’s case that happens in in real world work places that prevents employees from working to their full potential or causing them to leave the work place all together.

The theorists of social control consider commitment from the perspective of cognitive aspect. However, the context of the social control theory has been modified from society to organisation because the security of organisation is the main aspect information security. This depicts the fact that the more committed the individuals are with their organisation, the more the costs of higher losses is in committing delinquent behaviours in the organisation. While on the other hand, Sarkar (2010) stated that attachment is regarded as the association of employees with others who connected to them. It is considered as the type of internal control, which is based on social links. The individuals make avoid taking actions when attached to other individuals, which includes parents, peers and other important people. For instance, attachment is linked negatively with delinquent behaviours due to the fact that performing such behaviours can disappoint the persons to whom the actors are attached. Therefore, in the context of organisation, for employees the most pertinent targets are

I do have to admit that sometimes this can be extremely difficult and may leave one feeling a bit vulnerable. Commitment is the ability to take a risk and to accept the possibility of disappointment or pain. Again, I have to agree that commitment can be demanding, but to look on the bright side, it can also be rewarding. To be able to stay in ...
Remuneration management is defined as the sum received for an employment or service delivered, this includes the money received on a monthly basis as well as benefits given as rewards (investopedia,para.1 ). Individualism need to be taken into account when implementing these remuneration structures or reward schemes, equal pay plays a role in balancing earnings among the diverse workforce (Shen, Chanda, D’Neetto and Monga,2009,p.241).

yes but the level appears that the level of satisfaction from employees with their place of employment seem to be dropping because of pay and promotion. Pay and Promotion are some of the major factors when an employee becomes unsatisfied with their position at their place of employment. Many employers are expecting more work from employees and are not being valued with more money or a more value based title. This is where Organizational commitment falls in an employee may feel the need to be committed to an organization based on the employee’s attachment to the place of employment. Many places of employment are now trying to see how they can better their place of employment for employees in order for them to be more committed to the organization. At my job we now have employment satisfaction surveys that come out every six months for employees. In these surveys the employee must answer a series of questions pertaining to how they feel about the job and its environment. This is an excellent way for the employees to voice their concerns as well as have the company listen to their concerns. This was also seen in the textbook and explained, Effective commitment is an emotional attachment to the organization and a belief in its values; while she disliked the job for whatever reasons, she did like her coworkers and had formed genuine friendships, so it was harder for her to exit because she had an emotional attachment to the

Organizations are working hard in today’s world of business, not only to remain competitive, but also to focus on stability and structure. Employees are the backbone of an organization.

This paper will discuss the importance of the total compensation program which includes many aspects, not just salary. Attention must be paid to equal pay, pay
Kim, Leong, & Lee, (2005) had stated that, employee retention is a continuous system where the employee is committed to work with a particular organization for a period of time. Employee retention is also referred to the policies and practices of the organization that applies to the prevention of employees from leaving which focuses on the promotions to sustain the talented and valuable employees (Kim, et. al., 2005). Kyi (2011), had argued that, organizations have to cultivate and put in numerous efforts to encourage the employees to be committed, loyal and rooted to the organization that they are working
