Abstract:
Commitment in the military is most often thought of as moral obligation, but there are also psychological and behavioral aspects to commitment. The Meyers and Allen three-component model of organizational commitment delineates these aspects as affective, continuance, and normative commitment. In other words, individuals stay in organization because they want to, need to, or because they ought to. This means that an understanding of commitment requires an evaluation of both the logic and will of accepting commitment. Eight readings are offered as a foundation of the psychological, philosophical, and ethical literature as well as distinguish the concept of commitment in the military from the greater concept of organizational commitment. To influence and build commitment, leaders must first develop a sound understanding of commitment.
