The Commitment Model (Meyer and Allen)

The Commitment Model by Meyer and Allen explains why employees stay with a company. It suggests three types of commitment influence their decisions: emotional attachment (they feel a strong connection and loyalty), sense of obligation (they feel they should stay because of a sense of duty or investments), and practical reasons (they stay because leaving would be difficult or costly). Together, these factors shape employees’ commitment to their organization, affecting their motivation, satisfaction, and whether they choose to remain or leave.
