ORGANIZATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT: THE COMPARATIVE STUDY
Journal Title: Problems of Management in the 21st Century - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The article aims to present issues connected with a commitment in relation to the current transformations of working conditions. Presently people work for many employers during their working lives; hence insecurity of employment became a determinant of the work situation. On the other hand, the employees are guided by the need for personal fulfillment and intellectual development in the professional field. This raises the question of whether organizational commitment, understood as a commitment to the workplace, is still a research problem, or whether another kind of commitment is developing- commitment to the occupation. This dilemma is the result of analysis of the behavior of employees. The observations indicate that some people do their work at a high level regardless of place of employment, identifying themselves with the profession performed. They are guided by the need for professionalism, not by the need for staying in the organization. The article aims to present two positions on commitment, by providing arguments in favor of importance of both aspects according to the different needs of employees. Moreover, this paper outlines the proposed directions of empirical research, undertaking of which would allow for broadening knowledge about changes in attitudes of people towards work.
