Question

Research has shown that organizations are starting to realize that regardless if an employee is a software designer or delivery truck driver, accountant or hotel housekeeper, the most valuable aspects of jobs are now the most essentially human tasks—sensing, judging, creating, and relationship building. This means that when good people leave a company, they take their value with them—more often than not, straight to the competition. In two paragraphs, discuss how the above statement is related to commitment to the organization. Be sure to address it from the employee and employer/organizational viewpoints.

Answer 1

Answer: The organizations are basically a collection of people who work together for the achievement of the common goals and objectives. People need skills and abilities in order to accomplish the tasks they have to perform. The organizational commitment is the bond that the employees have towards their organization. This bond is created through the experiences they have inside the organizations. The experiences they have inside the organizations are not only dependent on what technical task they perform and how well they perform but also on the human tasks they perform like sensing, judging, creating and relationship building. The human tasks are one of the most valuable aspects of jobs. Therefore for creating a high commitment level inside the organizations the employers need to create a culture for the employees that allows them to engage in positive and meaningful human tasks.

When the organizations help the employees to engage in positive human tasks like relationship building and networking with the other employees develop their interest in the workplace. They develop a bonding with others and develop themselves by learning from each other. This also helps the employees to become creative and engage in the creation of innovation. When employees are creative and innovative they develop positive feelings which positively impacts on their sense making and their judgments about the organization are also good. All these factors help in the development of commitment in the employees. When these factors lack then the employees are de motivated and leave the organization and take way with them their value straight to the competitors.
