UNRAVELING THE NEXUS: EXPLORING JOB STRUCTURE'S IMPACT ON AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

Abstract

The concept of organizational commitment, a subject of academic intrigue and exploration, can be traced back to the seminal work "The Organizational Man" penned by W. H. Whyte in 1956. Within this influential book, Whyte elucidated that commitment materializes when a member of an organization opts to remain primarily due to the auxiliary gains tethered to their vested interests. This notion of enduring organizational allegiance founded on the advantages derived from associated commitments was further investigated in the scholarly contributions of Becker in 1960, harmonizing with the foundational insights articulated by Whyte concerning organizational commitment.
