Abstract

People are the key to enhancing productivity in any organization and that increasing desire to be maximally productive is difficult but the most endurable way to improve productivity in an organization. Highlighting the importance of a multidimensional view of employee commitment, this paper argues that the conventional view of organizational commitment does not tell the whole story about individual performance and productivity. Identifying multiple foci of employee commitment beyond the organization helps explain various motivational bases among employees toward productivity improvement efforts. Critical issues regarding a multidimensional view of employee commitment in the public sector are examined to further explore possible research areas and strategies that might expand on existing literature in both organizational behavior and productivity. For this purpose, seven propositions are suggested with discussion based on implications.
