__________ commitment is staying with an organization because of the perceived high economic and/or social costs involved with leaving.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuance commitment refers to employees' desire to stay with an organization due to the perceived high costs of leaving, which could be economic (e.g. loss of benefits, seniority, pension, etc.) or social (e.g. loss of relationships, reputation, status, etc.). This type of commitment is often characterized by a sense of obligation or entrapment rather than loyalty or attachment. In other words, employees with high continuance commitment may feel that they have to stay with the organization rather than want to stay with it. This may lead to lower job satisfaction and engagement, as well as higher turnover intention if the costs of staying exceed the benefits.
