Abstract

Committed employees are essential for organizations. Numerous studies look for factors that lead to organizational commitment, although most of former research focused primarily on job-specific factors like income, socialization process, or workplace atmosphere. However, individual characteristics should also be taken into account, because various personal factors could also have significant impact on development of commitment. These factors are like social orientation, social value orientation or Machiavellianism. Present study focuses on high and low level Machiavellian individuals’ engagement processes. According to the results of the investigation attached to this paper the engagement due negative or positive reasons both are in a contrary relationship with high Machiavellianism. Lower Machiavellian scores suggest easier commitment process and more committed employees. In addition to the above the effects of some demographic factors on commitment will also be presented in the article.
