Workplace social programmes and Employee commitment: a literary reflection
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper examined the relationship between workplace social programmes and employee commitment. The objective of the study was to examine how dimensions of workplace social programmes such as seasonal parties, event tours, and award ceremonies influence normative, affective, and continuance commitment. The method used for the study was a survey of literature. The following findings were made: wellorganized seasonal parties enhance normative commitment; event tours boost and sustain affective commitment, award ceremonies also boost continuance commitment. The study concluded that regular and well-executed workplace social programmes boost and sustain employees’ commitment. Consequently, the study recommends that organizations should hold well-planned award ceremonies to appreciate and boost the commitment staff, regular group tours and retreat to provide platform for interpersonal interaction among staff, and annual endof-year parties garnished with picnics and other wholesome fun activities to enable employees ease up their stress and expand their social networks. These will lead to organizational members’ bonding with the organization; and thus, enhance employee commitment.
