“…Professional commitment was conceptualized as the extent to which individuals identify with and value their profession. Although professional commitment is different than attrition or withdrawal intentions, it has been shown to be a predictor of actual turnover, including among teachers (Blau, 1985(Blau, , 1988(Blau, , 1989Chapman, 1983;Raju & Srivastava, 1994;Singh & Billingsley, 1996). Professional commitment items were measured on a seven-point scale which ranged from 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 7 "Strongly Agree."…”

“…Organizational commitment has been widely described in the management and behavioural sciences literature as a key factor in the relationship between individuals and organizations. For example, it has been described as the factor that promotes the attachment of the individual to the organization (Raju & Srivastava, 1994). Employees who willingly continue their association with the organization and devote considerable effort to achieving organizational goals could therefore, be regarded as been committed to the organization.…”

Despite the recent research efforts into the antecedents of organizational commitment most especially in the developed economies, little empirical work has been conducted examining the effect of some human resource management practices such as performance appraisal system, career planning system and employee participation on organizational commitment. In this article, we examined the effect of these human resource management practices in explaining employee job commitment in the Nigerian banking sector. Based on a survey of 14 banks in Nigeria, the study applies regression analysis, correlation analysis and G-test in testing the hypotheses. Results indicate that performance appraisal system, career planning system and employee participation significantly influence employee job commitment and that the level of organizational commitment of employees in the Nigerian banking sector is low. The study therefore, recommends that for employees to be genuinely committed to their jobs, organizations should make conscious efforts at strategically managing performance appraisal, career planning and employee participation with a view to ensuring effective implementation and achieving desired results.

“…Apathetics possess low levels of organizational commitment and task performance. Raju and Srivastava (1994) believe that organizational commitment can be described as the factor that promotes the attachment of the individual to the organization. To put it differently, higher levels of performance and effectiveness at both the individual and the organizational level will be the outcome of the high levels of effort exerted by employees with high levels of organizational commitment.…”

The present study examines the effects of organizational cynicism on two dimensions of job attitudes (organizational commitment and job satisfaction). Over the years, much work has been done by researchers who focused on organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Drawing on the literature review, there are some studies regarding organizational cynicism. In Egypt, limited research has been conducted, but the present study attempts to find out whether there is a relationship between organizational cynicism and job attitudes. Teaching Hospitals in Egypt were our subject matter from 2012/9 through 2013/2, to be a pioneering study on organizational cynicism and its effect on job attitudes. This survey-type research is descriptive in terms of the data collection. The present study investigates the attitudes of employees in regards to organizational cynicism, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Ultimately, it elucidates the effect of organizational cynicism on job attitudes. Three groups of employees at Teaching Hospitals in Egypt were examined. Three hundred and fifty seven questionnaires were distributed and 297 usable questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 83%. The results reveal that there are differences among the three groups of employees based upon their evaluative attitudes towards organizational cynicism, organizational commitment and job satisfaction. The present study provides a number of recommendations for managers and practitioners to consider. Finally, the implications of this study are discussed.
