Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine employee organizational commitment in the 21st century based on relevant theories, concepts, and research. The findings show that employee organizational commitment in the present era consists of three main components: 1) Emotion, 2) Feelings/Mindset, and 3) Body/Behavior, with each main component comprising several subcomponents. The first main component (Emotion) includes five subcomponents: turnover intention, job satisfaction, expectations, expressions, and decision to resign. The second main component (Feelings/Mindset) consists of eight subcomponents: perception/feeling, compensation, fairness, appreciation, value, rewards and recognition, security, and understanding. The third main component (Body/Behavior) contains nine subcomponents: receiving opportunities from management, burnout, work environment, relationships with organizational structure, collaboration with colleagues and society, autonomy in work, physical commitment, productivity increase, and values. The study suggests that employee organizational commitment in the 21st century is complex and multifaceted. Developing and enhancing this commitment requires attention to emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects to ensure employees' engagement and sustainable contribution within the organization.
