Organizational commitment relates to the extent to which an employee is loyal to the current organizations expressed through his/her willingness to stay with the organization, work for its success and feel proud of being part of it as opposed to employment commitment which is a general commitment to paid work (Turunen, 2011). Stronger organizational commitment is a desirable goal in western countries because of its relationship to turnover rates and absenteeism (Turunen, 2011).
