  JS Online: Survey finds worker loyalty up - [Cached Version]

  "My sense is that the basis for loyalty has changed dramatically in the last 20 years," said Ray Aldag, a professor of business management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
  
  Workers have become less committed to their employers over the years, Aldag said.He sees a decrease in mutual loyalty, where employees do whatever is needed because they know their employer will take care of them.Instead, loyalty is more likely to be a "calculative" commitment based merely on compensation, he said, which keeps an employee in place only until a better offer comes along.
  
  ...
  Like Beck, Aldag suggests that the best way to keep employees is to show a strong commitment to them."I do think it's critical to be thinking more and more about retention strategies," he said."It's a huge issue right now."
  
  As an example, he referred to the 1991 offer of guaranteed job security by Northern Telecom.The company now known as Nortel said it would employ new college graduates for a minimum of three years if they hired on at any of the company's offices in Canada or the United States.
  
  It's unclear what that did for Nortel's retention rate, but last year the company notified more than 36,000 workers of termination, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  Ray Aldag, professor of management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, said the layoffs "shatter the culture" of Lands' End's small-town family feel.Mr. Aldag spoke of a "psychological contract," in which the employees work hard, "and the company will provide you with secure employment and a family-oriented culture.This is a body blow."
  
  "It's a situation where the culture was developed over decades.These sorts of things can just be destroyed overnight," Dr. Aldag said.
  
  Residents of this village have been dealt several setbacks in recent years.

  My research ‘Merger: The Interplay between commitment, identity, and trust' was greatly enriched by the valuable comments and insights of Professor Ray Aldag (my supervisor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison) who has been working on issues related to cultural differences and integration in mergers and acquisitions and I had had the opportunity to learn from his experience in the field.I consider myself extremely lucky to have gained from the wealth of experience and knowledge of two very brilliant people i.e. Professory Gary Davies at Manchester and Professor Ray Aldag at the Madison.2.We also came up with a model that combines Professor Aldag's and my area of research (based on his transformational leadership work).
  ...
  Professor Aldag was also nice enough to introduce me to Mr. Wayne Reschke of the Center for Organization Effectiveness- a consultant having more than 25 years of experience working on HR issues and change management.
  ...
  Getting to know Professor Aldag and my friends at Madison is a blessing that I value far more than the many work-related benefits that I derived from my stay at Madison, Wisconsin.
