Dear all,
Could you please name some of theories related to organizational commitment or employee commitment?
Do the satisfaction and motivation theories explain the commitment?
Best regards,
I would start with Meyer and Allen's work. Their book, although not recent, is a good resource to provide background.

Dear Sir,
First of all I advise you to find contact to Prof. Eva Gallardo - Gallardo who is focused on that field.

What I know of affective organizational commitment and other processes such as procedural justice and participative budgeting can be found in this accounting article:
Parker R., J. M. Kohlmeyer, S. Mahenthiran, and T. Sincich. 2014. Procedural Justice and Information Sharing during the Budgeting Process. Advances in Management Accounting 23(1), pp. 93-112.
Thank you for all answers from all the partipants. I learnt from the answers of all of you. Actually, we conducted a study on KM and Organizational commitment in public sector and submitted to a SSCI and ABS 2* journal. We got major revision with a severe critique on the underlying theory- expectancy based job design theory.
After these through answers, I believe that we should be able to explore and use the most relevant underlying theory. Thank you to all of you!
the theories to be applied depend on the variables of the research. Social exchange theory is for example useful in relation to organizational commitment based on the three dimensions of the OC construct through the context of reciprocity between the employees and the organization as well as the extra-role behaviors such as organizational citizenship behavior
