Employee Commitment a Investor in People Model

Abstract

The performance of the organization is directly impacted by level of Employees Commitment". The "Emplo-yee Commitment" -Investors in People (IIP) Model was selected as the reference sample for this study. The IIP model emerged in UK and is being successfully implemented in the western countries. Lot of prior research has been carried out across the world on IIP however no research work is done to test the validity of this model in developing countries like Pakistan. As per IIP, the employee commitment is dependent variable of four independent variables i.e employee con-tribution recognition, support people development, equality of opportunities and encourages performance improvement. This study was based on the hypothesis that" IIP said employee commitment variables are secondary and tertiary motivators and are not workable in Pakistan unless primary needs of the employees are fulfilled". The research study conducted in group of sample organizations comprising of multinational and local private organizations has confirmed the above hypo-thesis. The research findings concludes that "Fair and Equitable Compensation & Benefits", Decent Work Environ-ment, and People Development are key elements for firing up Employee Commitment", in developing countries like Pakistan. The research findings and recommendations will help local entrepreneurs to improve productivity; quality of output and retaining highly motivated and charged workforce committed to improve organizational performance.
