Abstract: We call "territorial anchoring" a cooperation between a company and its territory, whereby new resources are collectively built. Due to a territorial anchoring, a company sets up elements of a common organization between the company and the territory: common conventions, multiple proximities, co-organization of collective actions, cross investments, sharing of value, intense exchanges of information. Many studies have highlighted the issues of anchoring for companies and territories, but have paid little attention to the impact of anchoring on employees. In particular, when an employee has a strong organizational commitment to the company , and this company is anchored, one could ask the following question: does this lead the employee to have a particular relationship with the territory and, more specifically , a strong organizational commitment to it? A qualitative study through multi-site cases shows that the continuance commitment to the territory is partly reinforced by the anchoring of the company. The employee's affective commitment to the territory is fostered by the affective commitment to the company. It is also fostered by direct participation in collective actions linked to the anchoring and by embedding employees in the company's professional networks.
