Executives say they're worried about engagement levels, which have fallen most dramatically for top performers. And companies are taking some steps to win over employees, such as CEO town-hall meetings, increased mentoring and more kudos for jobs well done. Employee engagement refers to how committed workers are to their organization, and how much extra effort they are willing to put on the job. Like many business concepts, it can be missapplied. Firms can obsess to much about engagement survey scores and not tie engagement initiatives directly to business outcomes. A May survey by Watson Wyatt of 1,300 workers at large US employers found that engagement levels for top performers fell close to 25% year over year.

Although the relationship between intent to quit and affective commitment has been examined before, this study advances our knowledge in this area in at least two ways. First, this study reports on subjects (prison Correctional Officers), who hold what can be described as "atypical" jobs. Second, this investigation looks at the impact of non-work related issues such as childcare availability and employee gender on attitudes toward the organization. Contrary to our expectations, there was little evidence of gender-specific differences in regards to the impact of non-work related variables. But, as hypothesized, there was a significant main effect for affective commitment on intent to quit, a significant main effect for a caring, supportive environment on affective commitment, and a signi...
