Labour commitment has been defined as "involving both performance and acceptance of the behaviour appropriate to industrial way of life." According to American authors, a committed worker is one "who stays on the job and who has severd his major connection with land. He is a permanent member of the industrial working force, receiving wages and being dependent for making a living on enterprose management which offers him work and directs his activities at the work place. " These authors trace labour commitment to four broad categories, viz.,
(a) the "uncommitted worker", who is only a temporary member of the industrial society and accepts industrial employment to tide over some temporary difficulty and goes bvack to the village after working for a short time;
(b) the "partially committed or semi-committed worker" is one who looks at industrial employment as something permanent but at heart he is a villager and maintains his contact with the village;
(c) the "specficially committed worker", who is permanently attached to particular enterprise and a particular occupation.
(d) The genarally comitted workers is one who has adjusted himself to the industrial way of life, who depends entirely upon industrial employement for his livelihood and does not have any contract with the village.
