4- In a scientific research which was conducted by Syed Azeem(2010, job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees in Oman), with a sample of 150 employees from government sector and private sector through distributing questionnaires. It was found that the job satisfaction and age variables were the most dominant factors that affect the organizational commitment in Oman.

5- A study was conducted to determine MARA Professional Colleges lecturersâ perception on organizational commitment. The study builds on social exchange theory and organizational model to identify the factors influencing the organizational commitment of these lecturers. The study analyzes whether or not there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction, job involvement, perceived organizational support and organizational commitment among lecturers in MARA Professional Colleges. Data were collected via questionnaires from 132 lecturers of three different MARA Professional Colleges. The findings of the survey show there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction, job involvement and perceived organizational support. Job involvement contributed the most which is 28.8%, followed by perceived organizational support 23.9% and job satisfaction contributed 9.4% towards organizational commitment among MARA Professional College lectures. The results suggest an improvement of social change by increasing job involvement, perceived organizational support and job satisfaction is an efficient way of obtaining highly committed human resource. The results of the study have valuable implications for policy makers in MARA Higher Education Division, college administrators and educators.

6- Elina Anttila (2014, components of organizational commitment under a case study consisting line managers from Finnish industrial company) aims to find factors affecting employeesâ organizational commitment within the case organization as well as point out some strengths and weaknesses the company has in this area. The company studied is Finnish multinational industrial company. The sample of this qualitative study consisted of nine Finnish first level managers from different segments of this company. The data was collected using theme interviews and qualitative attitude approach. Therefore, the analysis was also conducted in two separate ways. The data from theme interviews was analyzed using thematic content analysis while the analysis of the data from qualitative attitude approach followed the principles of that method concentrating on explanations of stance taking. As a result of this study, the factors affecting the organizational commitment in this organization can be divided into three categories. The first one consist matters directly linked to the company itself. The second category has factors linked to the work community. Finally, the third is formed by factors related to the work characteristics. Companyâs strengths lie in itsâ interesting field of business and variety opportunities it can offer for employees globally.

Case Study: Improving Total Knee Replacement at Brigham and Womenâs Hospital

In 2007 John Wright gathered a group of people from all of the profes-sions involved in total knee replacement at Brigham and Womenâs Hos-pitalâsurgery, anesthesia, nursing, physical therapyâto formulate a single standard way of doing knee replacements (Gawande 2012). The team carefully studied the medical literature, conducted some small-scale trials, worked together to develop a standard protocol, and tried to get everyone to follow suit. The new protocol involved changes in anesthesia, changes in the prostheses used, changes in medications, changes in postoperative activities for patients, and changes in physi-cal therapy. The new protocol reduced costs, improved pain control, improved the mobility of patients, and shortened length of stay. Lowe (2011) quotes Wright as saying, âOur primary goal is to improve the outcome and the process of care for the patient. Invariably when we pay attention to these concerns, we find that we achieve the secondary goals of efficiency and cost savings.â One of the most controversial changes involved limiting the prostheses that surgeons could use. Even minor differences in prostheses can result in changes to the operation, and surgeons have strong preferences about prostheses. But some prostheses cost far more than others, and little evidence indicated that the more expensive prostheses were better. The surgeons now use a single source for 75 percent of their prostheses, sharply improving the hospitalâs bargaining power (Gawande 2012).

Discussion questions:

â¢ Why would standardization reduce costs? How could it improve quality?

â¢ How could the hospital reward physicians for helping standardize prostheses?

â¢ How would this reward system help align incentives?

â¢ Are any strategies less likely to cause problems with the Medicare Inspector General?

â¢ Why would choosing a standard prosthesis improve the hospitalâs bargaining position?
