Question 1. 1. Research has shown that organizations are starting to realize that regardless if an employee is a software designer or delivery truck driver, accountant or hotel housekeeper, the most valuable aspects of jobs are now the most essentially human tasks—sensing, judging, creating, and relationship building. This means that when good people leave a company, they take their value with them—more often than not, straight to the competition. In two paragraphs, discuss how the above statement is related to commitment to the organization. Be sure to address it from the employee and employer/organizational viewpoints. (Points : 25)
