Organizational commitment plays a crucial part in determining holding back the employees in the organization.When an employee stays with the organization for a longer period of time and works passionately towards achieving the overall organizational objectives, it is said to be his/her organizational commitment. An employee's level of commitment towards his/her work is considered as a vital factor to assess one's dedication to the tasks assigned. There are several personal traits for organizational commitment, such as employee satisfaction, employee engagement, self-monitoring, leadership, job performance, etc. However, it is very essential for every organization to understand that how self-monitoring influences work-related behaviors like organizational commitment.
