Objective - The study purposes three objectives, which is to recognize the level of employees' commitment (EC) among employees, to identify the level of IWE application among employees, and to investigate the relationship between EC and IWE. Methodology/Technique - The data was collected through a structured questionnaire from employees working at selected financial firms in Kuala Lumpur and has been statistically analysed using SPSS. Findings - The results showed that the levels of employees' commitment and IWE among employees are high, however the Pearson correlation test shows there is no significant relationship between EC and IWE. Hence, it is recommended for future research to explore a different angle of the management dimension to be tested with IWE and expand the context into a multidisciplinary field. Novelty - This research helps to broaden the employees' knowledge about the work ethics in Islamic perspectives and apply it in their organization. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords : Organizational commitment; employees commitment; affective commitment; normative commitment; continuance commitment; Islamic; work ethics.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between employee values and knowledge management (KM) in sport organizations. Design/methodology/approach Data (N = 234) were collected online through a structured questionnaire from employees of 33 sport organizations in Iran. To test the hypotheses, Pearson correlation test and a regression analysis was conducted. Findings The results from the study revealed that there were significant relationships between employee values and KM. Both instrumental and terminal values significantly influenced KM. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this study is related to the generalizability of the results. Therefore, the current study is required to be replicated with other sport organizations in various sectors (public or private) to improve external validity of the results. Practical implications Based on this study, employees of sport organizations in developing countries tend to store knowledge more than sharing and applying it. The findings can be used by human resources and KM practitioners who are interested in developing organizational knowledge through employees’ values. Originality/value Through this study, the positive roles of employee instrumental and terminal values, as the key drivers in determining intangible assets in organizations, were found.

Organizational Commitment is one of the main topics discuss in today’s working environment.  Most of the scholar agreed that to make the employees highly commit to the organization, employees must have satisfaction with their work.  Further study related to this area is still needed to identify the most important criteria to the specific industries.  Hence, this study conducted a non-experimental study in which researchers investigated and analysed the relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction, in which focuses on continuance, normative, and affective commitment.  There are 140 valid responses collected from three government agencies in Tanah Merah, Kelantan.  Regression analysis were used for this study to identify the relationship between two variables.  The result of descriptive statistics showed that continuance commitment represents the highest mean score for this study.  Meanwhile, Organizational Commitment has a moderate, positive, and significant relationship towards job satisfaction (r=598, p<0.01).  It can be concluded that most of the respondents used to have affective commitment towards the organization where they remain members and part of the organization.  Findings of this study shed light on how to build a sustainable employee in government agencies. The researchers also suggest several recommendations for future research for this study.

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article aims to describe and analyze the relationship between human resources practices and organizational commitment in a large public urban sanitation company. Originality/value: It has been found that most human resources practices significantly influence organizational commitment, showing that the affective and normative commitment is the most affected and, on a weaker scale, there is the continuance commitment. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted with 349 employees whose formulated hypotheses were verified by multiple regression. Findings: The results indicated a predominance of affective commitment of employees, greater agreement with the practice of human resources associated with benefits and disagreement with the career planning regarding the policies related to the internal selection process, self-development, compensation policy and the promotion process. The multiple regression analysis allowed to confirm the hypotheses postulated, revealing a more significant positive relationship between human resources practices with the types of affective and normative commitment when compared to the continuance commitment. Organizational commitment of the affective type proved to be positively influenced by the human resources practices associated with career planning and benefits, while the commitment of the normative type was positively more induced by the human resources practice related to training and development. Despite the fact that the article revealed results that contribute to the academy, future research must be carried out to improve the relationship between the constructs treated in this study.

Abstract. Workplace ostracism, conceived as to being ignored or excluded by others, has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. One essential topic in this area is how to reduce or even eliminate the negative consequences of workplace ostracism. Based on conservation of resources (COR) theory, the current study assesses the relationship between workplace ostracism and its negative outcomes, as well as the moderating role played by psychological capital, using data collected from 256 employees in three companies in the northern part of China. The study yields two important findings: (1) workplace ostracism is positively related to intention to leave and (2) psychological capital moderates the effect of workplace ostracism on affective commitment and intention to leave. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for organizations and employees, along with recommendations for future research.

Proper management of information technology (IT) projects remains important within organizations; they require tremendous investment and consume valuable resources. To enhance one's understanding of IT projects and the continued issue of project failure, this study develops a model of the psychological influences of IT project commitment for individuals working on IT projects and its influence on intentions to continue an IT project (ICITP). Survey responses from 232 individuals across several organizations were obtained, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Three forms of project commitment (affective, continuance, and normative), subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control – internal were significant predictors of ICITP, explaining 64% of the variance. Additionally, continuance commitment and perceived behavioral control – internal were found to explain 46% of the variance in affective commitment. Implications and directions for future research are provided.

Four commitment profiles, based on levels of commitment to the organization and the career, were used to explore the relationship between distinct patterns of commitment and work-related outcomes with a sample of professional hospital employees. As two distinct forms of organizational commitment have been identified affective and continuance commitment separate profiles were constructed for each type of organizational commitment in conjunction with career commitment. Results for profiles based on affective commitment were consistent with prior research findings, in that employees committed to both their organization and their career exhibited the most positive work attitudes and the strongest intention to remain with the organization. Unexpectedly, the dually committed also had the strongest intensity of job search behavior, but these efforts did not translate into higher incidences of turnover. No differences were observed across commitment profiles with respect to job performance. The synergistic effect between affective and career commitment was not observed for profiles based on continuance commitment to the organization. Employees committed only to their careers exhibited more positive work outcomes than did those committed only to their organizations. The implications of these findings for management practice were discussed.
