Abstract
ABSTRACT Evolving from the concept of organizational loyalty, organizational commitment (OC) is a construct that we propose is both dated and lacking in the literature. Our paper aims to address critical gaps in OC literature as it pertains to human resource development for the modern work setting by highlighting three salient elements that have a significant impact on OC on an international scale. We posit that technology, dynamic markets, and globalization are crucial aspects of OC that are largely omitted by the literature in this domain and should be further examined to enhance our understanding of OC as it pertains to human resources development. We also highlight the profound influence that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on OC from a human resources development perspective across the globe. Implications for practitioners and researchers are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
