How to enhance employees' affective commitment is a hot topic in the field of management. In this study, we explore the relationship between affective commitment, perceived organizational support and job involvement. Methods: We surveyed 217 employees from local companies. We used analysis of Pearson correlation and regression models to explore associations between affective commitment, perceived organizational support and job involvement. Results: We found organiztional justice has a significant positive effect both on emplyees’ perceived organizational support and affective commitment, especially procedural justice is the most important variant effecting employees’ perceived organizational support, and leadership justice is the most significant variant influencing affective commitment, perceived organizational support plays a partial mediating role between organizational justice and job involvement. Conclusions: Findings suggest that individual perception of the organizational support plays a role in understanding when and why employees pay high attention to their work and invest more effort to achieve organizational goals. It is critical to cultivate employees’ affective commitment to their organization by method of creating a fair and supportive internal culture, which focus on procedural justice and consistently supportive organizational policies.

Abstract: The aim of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of positive psychological interventions (PPIs) to improve well-being and health behaviour adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Medline, PsycINFO, the Cochrane register, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were systematically searched to find relevant studies until January 2020. The primary outcome was reduction in risk factors of cardiovascular disease including HbA1c, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure along with improvement in positive affect, optimism, self-efficacy, and health behaviour adherence such as diet, exercise and medication. The secondary outcomes were reduction in depression, anxiety and stress. A random-effect model was used to compare group effect size at post-test. We identified a total of 11 studies (N=1594 participants) with substantial variability in the interventions. Overall, the results provide evidence that multi-component PPIs have a small but significant effect on positive affect, optimism, health behaviour, self-care and BMI. Further, the review demonstrates that PPIs can be effective in the reduction of anxiety and stress symptoms. However, studies included in this review are heterogenous due to methodological variation, therefore, in future more studies across a wide range of PP interventions needs to be included in order to validate the findings and for conclusive evidence.
