Levels of Commitment

During my academic studies as an Organizational Psychologist, I learned there are 3 types of commitments that exist within an organization. Organizational commitment is referenced as the bond or connection an individual feels with his or her workplace or organization. This entails "fitting in" and understanding the goal...which more often than not leads to more determination, high performance, and genuine support. These same commitments may be used as a guide in regards to relationships. The three levels of commitment are 1. Affective Commitment 2. Continuance Commitment 3. Normative Commitment Let's take some time to review each level thoroughly with examples in the upcoming blogs.

Commitment: The Starting Point

What is commitment? "an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action” or the “state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.” While a commitment does identify an agreement or promise, evaluation is by the actions or lack thereof. Everyone has their idea of what "actions" should be entailed in their commitments and sometimes they are not aligned with those in which they have made commitments with. How can that be??? Should we live life through phrases such as “what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained!” Can something be understood if it’s never discussed or addressed? Now exception is maybe we are siblings and grew up in the same household and lived in the same cultural environment …I can go with that...But….Some thought processes that we adapt might automatically set us up for failure!!! I know…I hear you saying I’m being too deep or analytical! It’s that very deepness and insight that helps prevent us from making an “ass” out of ourselves! Would you assume you have one million in your bank if I said I put it there or will you go check your account? Treat your relationships like your money…that is, of course, if they are valuable to you; otherwise just “let everything go” …maybe you will get tired of all those overdraft fees due to negligence on your part!

Commitment & Insanity

What is it that you are looking for? What do you want in life? Do you find yourself renewing your commitments with hopes to accomplish them? If you are not where you want to be in life or don't have some things that you want...Have you ever thought it might be because you are practicing "insanity"? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If you don't have the relationship you want, career, health condition or physique...maybe you ought to do somethings differently! Apparently your old habits and ways of doing things have not been successful! #LiveYourLifeOnPurpose
