Engaged employees are good, but don't count on commitment

The notion that highly engaged workers will continue to work tirelessly for organizations despite diminishing resources often isnt true, according to Clemson University psychology professor Thomas Britt. There is a difference between an engaged worker, meaning one who invests himself or herself in superior job performance, and organizational commitment, a workers psychological attachment to his or her organization or employer. Britts research found that an engaged employee isnt necessarily committed to the organization.
