Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is one of the more comprehensive looks at commitment in the workplace in recent years. Fink discusses several dimensions of commitment. For instance, organizational commitment can exist as a result of the work itself, and not necessarily because of the commitment to coworkers or the organization. Based on findings from his research, Fink outlines in detail what factors affect employee commitment and employee performance and pays careful attention to factors creating and reinforcing commitment. Information and data from the research is plentiful. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students would benefit most from this book, along with middle- and upper-level managers.”–
“. . . Contains a wealth of advice aimed at helping managements to move away from compliance-to commitment-based work systems. . . . the book is an excellent source of ideas for managers trying to decide whether to implement ``new'' management paradigms, as well as for anyone grappling with the problems inherent in creating a learning organization.”–
Book Description
Fink addresses, with the benefit of a Commitment Diagnostic Instrument (CDI), the immensely sensitive and important issue of commitment in the workplace. He establishes the meaning of commitment and relates the concept to the separate areas of co-workers, one's position in the organization, and to the company itself. The research-based findings are highly instructive on essential issues of management concern including employee performance, retention, intra-company relationships, and productivity. This direct, substantive, and practical work will assist managers to identify signs of employee commitment or the absence thereof. It provides methods of building and reinforcing commitment over the spectrum of workplace relationships and thereby enhances overall productivity.
