Abstract

Commitment, and its perceived attendant benefits, is of perennial and topical interest to academics, employees, businesses and policy makers. Also, more recently commitment has become important in many countries, not least in terms of efforts to establish social partnership arrangements with trade unions and their underpinnings. In this paper we review research on employee commitment, in terms of commitment to organizations, trade unions and both, dual commitment. The approaches taken and problems encountered with each are explored. We point out the need for more precise measures, theory and greater care in designing research that examines the relationship between commitment and its predictors. We go on to develop a theoretically underpinned research framework on dual commitment and suggest its possible use in Asian contexts. This will form the context of a later empirical paper.
