Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affective commitment is the emotional attachment an employee feels towards their job and organization. If Regis has not been promoted, he may feel disillusioned or frustrated, but if he believes in the company's values and mission, he may still have an emotional attachment to his job. Therefore, it is least likely that Regis's affective commitment would be affected by his lack of promotion.

The other options may be more likely to occur. If Regis has been passed over for promotion multiple times, he may have more negative moods and emotions (B), and he may start to look elsewhere for work (C). Additionally, Regis may feel that his efforts are not being recognized or rewarded, which could cause him to lower his levels of effort (D).
