Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lisa's statement about not wanting to lose her retirement after all the time she's put in suggests that she has a sense of obligation or attachment to the organization beyond just her emotional connection (affective commitment). This type of commitment is referred to as continuance commitment, which is based on the perceived costs of leaving the organization rather than a strong desire to stay.
