Question

Mauve has been working as the creative head at Juno Designs for the past 10 years. Her growth at Juno has made her one of the finest designers in the field. Of late Mauve has been receiving several offers and inquiries from head hunters from other companies. Mauve thinks that she should stay with Juno Designs because her retirement benefit increases during her later years of service as opposed to her initial years of service. This is an example of _____ commitment.A. continuance
B. affective
C. ethical
D. normative
E. associative

Answer 1

Answer:

A) continuance

Explanation:

Continuance commitment refers to an employee's desire to continue in a company because he/she believes that staying in the company will result in larger monetary benefits. The employee is aware of the costs associated with leaving the company and the potential benefits of being employed somewhere else, but he/she is also aware of the monetary benefits of staying in the company.

Obviously if Mauve decides to stay is because she believes that the benefits of staying offset the potential benefits of leaving including the costs of leaving the company. Sometimes employees stay in a company because they need to do so in order to maximize their benefits.
