Comprometimento organizacional: um estudo de caso na Prefeitura Municipal de Quaraí/RS

Abstract

Organizational commitment is composed of several concepts and definitions, the most frequent of which is that organizational commitment is the engagement or involvement that the individual establishes with the organization (BASTOS, 1994). In this sense, according to Allen and Meyer (1991) there are three bases of organizational commitment: affective, instrumental and normative. In this way, the present study aimed to analyze the predominant commitment of the servers of the municipal government of Quaraí / RS. Thus, the research is characterized as a case study, descriptive and quantitative. As a tool for data collection, the validated Allen and Meyer questionnaire (1991) was used in view of three approaches: Affective Commitment, Instrumental Commitment and Normative Commitment. The results show that the predominant type of impairment is Instrumental Compromise, which is the one in which the workers remain in the organization due to the need or lack of work alternatives, or due to financial stability. It is concluded, therefore, that it is necessary for the organization to practice activities to increase Affective Commitment, to develop incentives and motivational practices, as well as to implant benefits with greater coverage and new forms of motivation.
