Continuance commitment refers to an individual's perceived need to remain with an organization due to the costs associated with leaving, such as financial penalties or loss of benefits. It is one of the three components of organizational commitment, along with affective commitment (emotional attachment to the organization) and normative commitment (obligation to stay with the organization).
When individuals feel a high level of continuance commitment, they are more likely to remain with an organization even if they are dissatisfied or do not feel a strong emotional connection. This can impact turnover rates and employee engagement. Organizations can influence continuance commitment by providing attractive benefits packages, offering training and development opportunities, or creating a positive work environment that reduces the perceived costs of leaving. However, it is important for organizations to also foster affective commitment and normative commitment to create a more holistic commitment from employees.
