    Attitudes refer to a person's positive or negative feelings towards an object or referent, and have three components: cognitive, affective, and conative. In organizations, work attitudes are reflected through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Job satisfaction depends on many factors like the nature of work, compensation, growth opportunities, and relationships with others. It can be increased by better defining employees' roles, understanding their needs, and involving them in work. Organizational commitment indicates how strongly an individual identifies with and wants to help an organization succeed, and has three dimensions: affective, continuous, and normative commitment.
