We start with one of the definitions associated with this concept. Commitment is attachment, attraction, love, a manifestation of a special interest in someone, something. There are several types of commitment.
Significance of Commitment
Organizational commitment is the unification of a person with the organization in which he works. Such attachment is expressed in a constant desire to work for the good of your organization, to look for ways to increase its status and prestige. Employees who are worried about their organization try to perform their duties much better than what is required by the job description or labor contract. The true commitment of the organization does not imply its own interests, everything is aimed at achieving overall success.
By their dedication, such employees infect the remaining members of the labor collective. It is they who become the "highlight" of the company, its business card. The commitment of the organization makes it possible to significantly save on the costs that may be caused by staff leaks. Even in the most difficult times for the organization, the commitment of the staff allows you to keep the work team.
Finally, attachment can reduce the costs associated with staff turnover. Employees loyal to the company do not leave the organization, even if it experiences difficult times. Currently, the company's commitment stands out in three types:
- by calculation;
- emotional
- on duty.
Emotional affection
Such a commitment is a person’s psychological mood, his emotional charge to fulfill his duties. A person may have an emotional attachment to certain employees with whom he works, including attitudes towards a supervisor. It is on how the employee relates to his boss that organizational commitment depends on.
In addition to commitment to people, attachment to a duty station, a work chair, and a personal computer is possible. No matter how trite it may sound, but it is the “office paradise” that causes psychological commitment. The peculiarities of the Russian mentality presuppose the establishment of friendly and benevolent relations between colleagues.
Adherence to principles becomes secondary, first of all, Russians are trying to find like-minded people in the team with whom they could spend time outside of work. Office employees try to spend as much time as possible together, organize joint events: parties, corporate holidays. To be happy for the common cause, try to “promote” your company - this is the true commitment of the company. Common affairs bring employees together, help them deal with problems.
Commitment is an attachment to certain employees with whom a person works, including attitude to the immediate supervisor. Wise leaders try to reward people, give them extra days of rest, and award bonuses. It is on how the employee relates to his boss that organizational commitment depends on.
Love for the profession
An emotional person is committed to his own organization if he is engaged in his favorite business. Such a commitment is more a manifestation of love for the profession than for the company. In order for the team to have talented employees, staff commitment, the head of the organization must create all conditions so that they can fully work, not be distracted by various minor problems. High-class specialists should not have any domestic troubles, everyday problems.
Costs and Investments
Emotional commitment is the true core of corporate commitment. Good relations between colleagues, the development of communication skills, the opportunity for full self-realization will certainly give a positive effect. There are special team trainings, during which a sense of “team” is developed, collectivism is formed. The boss is obliged to show goodwill towards his employees, otherwise adherence to principles will remain an empty phrase.
The end in itself can be the formation of full-fledged emotional relationships. To solve the task, employees often sacrifice the objective interests of the organization. For example, instead of a detailed analysis of the reasons for losing the tender, they simply try to “hush up” the failure so that there are no disagreements in the team. Such a “solution” to the problem does not contribute to the prosperity of the company itself, but within the collective relations will be friendly. Some managers abandon emotional well-being, focusing on commitment to the goal.
Cold Settling
It implies a commitment to the organization of the employee for some personal reasons and calculations. For example, due to material dependence, a person has to work in a company, even if it does not give him pleasure. Currently, many Russians work not in those organizations in which they would like to work, but where they offer decent wages, a convenient work schedule.
Identification of benefits
When employing people are guided by certain principles. They choose vacancies in those places where there is:
- high profit payment;
- convenient mode of operation;
- friendly relations between colleagues and the leader;
- proximity to the place of residence.
Debt attachment
Adherence to traditions can be considered a manifestation of such attachment. In the European North, as an example of such dependence, one can note the transfer of spinning wheels from generation to generation (along the female line). If a girl was born in the family, a small spinning wheel was put in her cradle. The girl played with her, learned to hold her in her arms.
As the skeleton grew older, its spinning wheel gradually increased in size. From about 10 years old, the girl, along with older women, began to spin. Parents presented her with chests in which the girl put her own "dowry" made by herself. A similar tradition has not been lost, only now in the North, instead of a spinning wheel, a girl is presented with a sewing machine. The happy father handed his son a small wooden hammer so that the boy would study the “Pomeranian craft” associated with the harvesting and processing of wood.
As for debt attachment, unfortunately, it is not common. Such a quality cannot be developed, formed, it is either present, or the employee does not have it.
The propensity for treatment
In the event that the patient does not have the mood for a healthy lifestyle, his plans do not include the use of antihypertensive drugs, it will not be possible to control blood pressure even with the most modern methods and drugs. Adherence to treatment is the percentage of compliance of the patient's behavior with all the recommendations that the attending physician gives.
Many doctors are convinced that a term such as “commitment” can be used to describe the relationship between the patient and the doctor. Low adherence to treatment implies the patient’s lack of desire to follow the doctor’s recommendations. Examples of patients' incompatibility among doctors are violation of the time of taking medications, changing the dose of the drug, unauthorized refusal to use drugs, forgetfulness.
Also, among the indicators of low love for therapy, one can mention omissions of appearances to the doctor, failure to comply with the doctor’s advice on lifestyle. Such behavior negatively affects the overall health of the patient. When drug therapy is canceled for some time, treatment is resumed after 2-3 months, the risk of developing complications caused by withdrawal syndrome is significantly increased.
Varieties of incompetence
In medicine, the following varieties of this term are distinguished:
- Inadvertent form. In such cases, the patient does not realize what he should do and how dangerous it is not to follow the recommendations of the attending physician.
- Intentional form. The patient, understanding the requirements of the doctor, deliberately violates his recommendations.
How is medicine adherence evaluated?
All methods for assessing commitment are divided into several types:
- Pharmacological. The test is carried out by detecting the concentration of the drug in biological media.
- Clinical. Commitment is determined by a timely visit to the doctor, improvement of the patient's condition, stabilization of blood pressure.
- Physical. The patient shows the doctor empty packages of drugs, the remaining tablets.
All approaches have some advantages and disadvantages. That is why, to obtain reliable results, a combination of several methods is used.
What factors can increase commitment
By following simple tips, you can increase commitment.
- Visit your doctor regularly.
- Monitor blood pressure.
- Observe antihypertensive therapy.
- Have the support of friends and family.
How to solve the problems of lack of love for treatment
First of all, it is important to inform the patient about the presence of the disease and methods of treatment. The patient must fully understand the fact of the presence of the disease, together with the doctor discuss all his doubts, resolve issues arising during treatment. The doctor, in turn, coordinates the individual treatment plan with his ward, informs him about the selected drugs.
In addition, the doctor involves in the decision on the selection of individual therapy for the patient. Together with the patient, the doctor sets short-term real goals that allow observing the treatment regimen and changing the patient’s lifestyle.
At the third stage, the achieved results are consolidated, the correct actions of the patient are encouraged, the dates of subsequent visits are appointed.
Strategies to increase patient attachment
Patient satisfaction is possible with such relationships between the patient and the doctor, which are based on mutual respect, trust. Many patients (especially older ones) do not evaluate the professional qualities of a doctor, but his communication skills.
Conclusion
There are different types of commitment, depending on the direction of activity, purpose. Whatever the attachment, in any case, it implies addiction, habit, some dependence of a person on circumstances or on another person. With the proper use of such attachment, directing it in the right direction, you can get a good result. A wise employer knows this, tries to use the love of employees, and get a good result: increase the productivity of their employees, increase the material profit of the enterprise, increase the prestige of the company.
When working with his patients who have a commitment to treatment, the doctor may not be afraid of a violation of therapy, daily routine, refusal to take drugs, violations or refusals to come to the reception.
Adherence to historical and cultural traditions allows transmitting family heirlooms from generation to generation , telling the young generation about them, and creating a sense of pride and patriotism over its history and its traditions.
Regardless of social status, any person has some kind of personal commitment. Due to the mentality of Russian people, among many attachments, attachments to traditions, the workplace, and colleagues at work come first. Commitment means loyalty, respect, compliance with certain rules.
