Abstract: We wish to introduce the concept of the five-factor model of employee commitment while proving that in addition to the factors of the three dimensional model of organisational commitment (affective, normative, and continuance), relevant organisational behaviour and attitude to work are also influenced by professional commitment and the so-called deliberate commitment; these appear mostly as a consequence of the crisis that is also a drawn-out phenomenon in Hungary. Our other aim is to define commitment profiles for some specific employee groups (the previously unemployed, Generation Y individuals in their first jobs, and teleworkers) once their members have been characterised, using the five commitment factors. The resulting commitment profiles are then compared to the commitment profile of the reference group. The results of this empiric research are based on the commitment attitude of 661 Hungarian employees.
