Good Employees Display Loyalty

Good employeeship is about creating a company culture based on responsibility, commitment, loyalty, cooperation, and development.

The previous post highlighted the importance of initiative, it was stated that initiative cannot be achieved without a high amount of responsibility and loyalty. Organizational loyalty is defined as allegiance to the company above self, protecting and defending it against external threat and promoting its good reputation (Himanshu, 2012). Loyalty is also defined as being faithful to the one you have chosen to support. 

3 Aspects of Employeehip

Employeeship occurs at the intersection of the employees' responsibility, initiative, and loyalty.

When an employee makes a wholehearted and goal oriented effort within the three success areas (productivity, relations, quality) of the organization, a special kind of personal commitment is demonstrated – this commitment can be called “employeeship” (Moller, 1994). When all employees are deeply committed to the survival and development of the organization and thus demonstrate employeeship, the organization can be said to have an “employeeship culture”.
