Abstract
The present study examines the
nature of Organizational Commitment
(OC) from the point of view
of Indian executives working in
multinational companies operating
in the country. The grounded theory
and the interpretive approach were
adopted to understand the study
objective. The data was collected
from three multinational companies
representing three different nations:
Sweden, UK, and Korea. All
the three companies had wholly
owned subsidiaries in India. The
perceptions of executives were
interpreted with the help of Allen
and Meyer’s (1990) framework.
The main study findings are that
employee’s display continuance
commitment; normative commitment
is absent and affective commitment
varies. The paper attempts
to explain the reasons for high
continuance commitment and why
affective commitment varies.
