Drivers of employee commitment: Evidence from the 2011 workplace employment relations survey of employees

What the paper says
This study explores determinants of three measures of employee commitment - shared values with the organisation, loyalty, and pride in working for the organisation - using data from the 2011 UK Workplace Employment Relations Survey of Employees. Variables represent employees' attitudes towards the job, the workplace and working at the workplace. Outcomes of descriptive modelling (ordered probit analysis) are contrasted with predictive modelling (decision trees using Gini-index and Gain-ratio splitting measures). Findings show two types of influence: aspects that encourage employee involvement, and those that foster development of the employee's skills. Pay satisfaction has been found to be negatively correlated to commitment. Findings are discussed and specific opportunities for leaders to leverage these insights are provided.
