A study on the organisational commitment of professionals with respect to various aspects of organisational socialisation

Organisational commitment of various groups of professionals seems to be moderated by the differences of the groups as well as of the socialisation experiences Demographic variable ‘age’ and the semi-structural variable ‘experience’ cause a difference in the level of commitment. Similarly, the professional and organisational differences moderate the level of commitment. From the point of view of the organisations, the socialisation experiences if differ can be used as tool to process and enhance the level of commitment of professionals of various groups.The ‘Socialisation effect’ does not depend on the professional or demographic differences. Socialisation level is moderated only by the organisational specialities. It is purely an organisational variable. However, the difference in the socialisation levels as found among the professionals can cause a significant difference in the levels of organisational commitment of professionals
