What the paper says

This research examines commitment factors amongst ICT workers. It further reappraises the role and impact of normative commitment as a separate facet (Meyer and Parfyonova, 2010) by taking a novel approach that focuses on the impact of normative commitment on ICT worker behaviour, without an associated examination of affective organisational commitment variables. The study found that ICT workers' commitment to their profession and flexible working practices were positively linked to normative commitment. Australian ICT firms tend to be small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) that lack the resources to compete with larger firms on pay rates. Non-wage benefits, such as flexible working hours, may therefore be a more effective strategy for SMEs looking to increase organisational commitment, than wages alone.
