Be emotionally attached to your work

Thomas Clausen from National Research Centre for the Working Environment in Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues looked at how AOC affected psychological well-being and other health-related outcomes in approximately 5,000 Danish eldercare workers, organised into 300 groups.


Efforts to increase affective organisational commitment (AOC) - the employee's emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in the organisation - may lead to a happier, healthier workforce, and possibly contribute to reducing employee turnover, the study said.
