Abstract

The emergence of a new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has generated multiple consequences that have affected the lives of all human beings, imposing a new normal where social distancing and mobility restrictions have become the norm. This situation has also affected organizations forcing them to create or strengthen strategies to respond to the situation to guarantee their survival and growth, which has made it essential to have full commitment from employees. Structural equations were used to design an instrument that was used with managers and middle managers at 130 Mexican companies. Once reliability and validity were tested and confirmed, the study found that there is a positive and significant relation between organizational strategies applied during the health emergency and employee commitment with the organization.
