 LITERATURE REVIEW
Linking Employee Commitment to
Organization Performance

Employee Commitment is defined as the degree to

which a worker identifies with his/her firm and shares
its goals and values(Fields, 2002). Employee
commitment plays an important role between
workforce management practices and firm
performance in the area of human resources (Elorza
etal.,2011; Pattersonetal.,2010).
 LITERATURE REVIEW
Linking Supply Chain Integration to
Organization Performance
Almost all the supply chain Integration activities directly connect
with finance (Cooper, 2009). Understanding the connection
between supply chain performances measurements and the
general measurements used to estimate the organization's
financial performance is fundamental to adjust supply chain
procedures' implementation to the organization's financial key
objectives (Romano, 2010).
The estimation and assessment of financial performances are
specifically identified with the organizational success.
Performance evaluation can help the firm to see their weak
points and also it defines their financial strategies.
(Browersox,2007).
 LITERATURE REVIEW
Literature linking Employee Commitment to
Supply Chain Integration
The influence of an organization's Employee
Commitment on achieving Supply Chain
Integration is a less studied topic (Mello and
Stank, 2005). But employee commitment
could play a major role in the achievement of
a nonstop competitive advantage in the
context of an integrated Supply Chain (Alfalla-
Luque, 2015).
