Motivation and performance managementCompare the difference between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Determine which is most strongly correlated with the selected company's performance. According to Nelson and Quick, job satisfaction is a pleasant or positive emotional state resulting from the evaluation of one's job or work experiences. It was treated as both general attitude and satisfaction with five job-specific dimensions: pay, work itself, promotion opportunities, supervision, and coworkers. Challenging work, valuable rewards, opportunities for advancement, competent supervision, and supportive colleagues are dimensions of work that can lead to satisfaction (Nelson & Quick, 2013, pp. 58-59). A good example of job satisfaction would be if an employee enjoys his or her job responsibilities. A good example of job dissatisfaction would be if an employee was unhappy with promotion opportunities. Organizational commitment is the strength of an individual's identification with an organization. There are three types of organizational commitment: affective, ongoing, and normative. Affective commitment is an employee's intention to stay in an organization because of a strong desire to do so. Continuity commitment is an employee's tendency to stay in an organization because he or she cannot afford to leave. Finally, normative commitment is the perceived obligation to remain in an organization (Nelson & Quick, 2013, p. 62). An example of affective commitment would be if an employee stays at their job because they truly enjoy what they do for a living. Demonstrating commitment to continuance would be if an employee remained at the job because of the pay and benefits. Last... middle of paper... A field study of tax office employees.
