Discuss the process people often go through as dissatisfaction sours their commitment to the organization or their job.

Draw from a volunteer experience. Think about a time when you volunteered or were part of a charitable event or project.

Write a response to these questions: overall, were you or the individual satisfied or dissatisfied with the job or volunteer work? Which category was, or is most likely to, foster the dissatisfaction? Categories could include personal dispositions, tasks and roles, supervisors and co-workers, or pay and benefits. Using the job withdrawal model, describe how your level or the individual's level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction was manifest. Did your or the individual's dissatisfaction cause you or the individual to avoid work by being late or absent, or quit? Perhaps you or the individual withdrew psychologically but remained at work physically. How could the organization have prevented job withdrawal?
