✦ Synopsis

This issue' s feature article by Bartlett examines an important and interesting question, that is, whether organizational practices have an impact on employee commitment. The study contributes to the human resource development (HRD) literature by adding to the evidence that organizational practices do indeed affect employee commitment. Particularly strong was the relationship observed between perceived access to training and affective organizational commitment.

The article is commendable in a number of respects. It is well written and examines a reasonable set of variables in testing clearly stated hypotheses. The sample population is an interesting one and is drawn from multiple organizations. Bartlett also does a good job of recognizing the limitations of the research. My reactions to this study focus primarily on issues that should be considered further before continuing along this line of research.
