Unleashing employees’ career commitment at scale

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This paper aimed to explore the relationship between organizational developmental HR practices and employees' commitment to their organizational career (COC), while examining the impacting role of psychological availability and the additional impacts of organizational links and employee fit. The study found that psychological availability drives the positive effect of developmental HR practices on COC, and this effect is stronger for employees with closer organizational links and better fit within the organization. The two most pertinent managerial insights are to: (1) invest in comprehensive developmental HR practices to nurture employee growth and commitment, and (2) to foster a work environment that promotes psychological availability and cultivates strong links and fit within the organization. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
