Talent Retention has become a critical concern for the industries, more than talent acquisition, in the fast changing global scenario. This study is an attempt to deal with employee commitment issues, which are very serious in the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry. The objective of the study was to identify the type of organizational commitment of an employee, at different career stages. This exploratory study was carried out for the first time, where the same employee, at different career stages, was studied with the unique technique of Recall. This study came out with striking results that overall commitment may look similar but employees differed significantly in organizational commitment i.e. affective, normative and continuance commitment scores, at various career stages. This study, about career stages, would help Indian industries, to understand better, the needs of employees and evolve the strategy for holding them for longer period for mutual benefits. Further, this study would enable HR professionals, to be more effective, in carrying out various interventions for developing organisational loyalty. |
