Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuance commitment refers to an employee's commitment to an organization based on the costs of leaving, such as loss of pension benefits, rather than a emotional attachment to the organization (affective commitment) or moral obligation (normative commitment). Mark Ripa's reluctance to leave because of the loss of pension benefits is an example of continuance commitment. Organizational commitment and employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) are different types of strategies for retaining employees.
