organisation and how they deal with this problem. Wiener and Vardi describe organisational commitment as behavioural intention or reaction, determined by the individual's perception of the normative pressure. Meyer and Allen discribes organisational commitment as a psychological state that characterises organisational members' relationship with the organisation and has implications for the decision to continue or discontinue membership in the organisation. Effects Organisational commitment can have either a negative or a positive effect on the organization. The negative effect implies that the level of organisational commitment is low. Employees with a low level of organisational commitment tend to be unproductive and some become loafers at work. In some cases the high rate of staff turnover and absenteeism are associated with the low level of organisational commitment

far more important than how far you stretch (or even how far others stretch). It's also not important to stick to a rigid schedule of stretching - feel free to browse our stretches and create your own stretching program. However, remember that stretching isn't for everybody. If you are currently experiencing pain, you must consult with your physician before doing any of these stretches, and if you experience any discomfort while doing these stretches, discontinue them immediately. Stretching essentials Warm up first. Stretching muscles when they're cold increases your risk of injury, including pulled muscles. Warm up by walking while gently pumping your arms, or do a favorite exercise at low intensity for five minutes. Better yet, stretch after you exercise -- when your muscles are warm and more receptive to stretching. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds. It takes time to lengthen tissues safely. Hold your

her American possessions. His counsel was rejected, and he resigned. The war came anyway—after the immense cargo of bullion had been unloaded at Cadiz. In the 1840's, political gales blew down a great deal of the remaining absolutism and the totalitarian agencies that propped it up. Europe's new birth of freedom tolerated no government opening of mail. In England, a tremendous public and parliamentary outcry over the surreptitious opening of letters forced the government to discontinue the interception of diplomatic correspondence in June of 1844. That October the government dissolved the Decyphering Branch, pensioning off Willes and Lovell. In Austria, the Geheime Kabinets-Kanzlei closed its doors in 1848. In France, the Cabinet Noir, which had been withering ever since the Revolution, passed away as well in that convulsive year. And in that same decade, the same vast social forces that ended the era of the black
them, “Knowing what you now know, would you introduce this product or service again today if you had it to do over?” They often tell me that, knowing what they now know, they would never have brought it out in the first place. My advice to them is always the same: “Kill it.” One of the smartest things a com- pany can do with a part of the business that is not working, and which has no future, is to discontinue it as quickly as possible. This applies to products, services, processes, methods of sale or advertis- ing, investments, or any other area of activity that consumes time, money, or emotional energy. ■ HOLD YOUR OWN FEET TO THE FIRE If there is anything in your life or your work that you wouldn’t get into today, knowing what you now know, it is an excellent candidate

I am speaking of aggressive counterattack. Whenever possible we ought to sting DEFENSE _ those responsible for the rigging of social evidence. We should purchase no prod- ucts featured in phony "unrehearsed interview" commercials. Moreover, each man- ufacturer of the items should receive a letter explaining our response and recommending that they discontinue use of the advertising agency that produced so deceptive a presentation of their product. Of course, we don't always want to trust the actions of others to direct our conduct-especially in a situation important enough to warrant our personal in- vestigation of the pros and cons, or one in which we are experts-but we do want to be able to count on others' behavior as a source of valid information in a wide range of settings. If we find in such settings that we cannot trust the information
