Good Monograph, but...It Is Monograph
I firstly expected, judging from the title of this book, that it covered academic research review and overview, practical implication, etc., to build "high commitment workplaces." However, this book is a monograph dealing with Professor Fink's attempt to develop the brand-new scale, called "Commitment Diagnostic Instrument (CDI)." I respect his overall efforts, but I am afraid to point out that the author ignored recent trend of organizational commitment, e.g., Meyer & Allen's 3-dimension commitment model. Detailed documentation as to the research result using CDI is well written, but this does not suffice the book title. Good monograph, but just a monograph. Perhaps good for intermediate lerners on organizational commitment, after reviewing primary past research and still wishing to know how to evaluate and develop scales.
