Over a long period the multi construct of organisational commitment has become familiar and popular among academicians and researchers from the field of organisational and psychology. In the early studies organisational commitment was narrated as a concept with single dimension. This sole dimension was identified based on involvement, attitudinal identification and loyalty (Ashforth et al., 2008). According to Porter et al (1974), an attitudinal perspective in commitment refers to the affective relationship or psychological attachment that gets developed by an individual. This attachment generally develops through his identification or engagement with the specific organisation. Meyer et al. (2001) came forth later to conceptualise organisational commitment as a multidimensional construct. According to their view commitment can initiate a force that can guide a course of action towards its one or more targets. In initial stage organisational commitment was identified by Meyer and Allen (1984) as a construct with two dimensions named as affective commitment and continuance commitment. The first dimension, affective commitment was described by Meyer and Allen (1984) as positive feelings one employee holds while he identifies with or attach to or involve in the work of a certain

Mental health parity defines the equivalent treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders in specific insurance plans. When a plan experiences parity, it means that if an individual is provided unlimited doctor visits for a chronic condition like diabetes then they must offer unlimited visits for a mental health condition such as depression or schizophrenia. However, parity doesn 't mean that an individual will get good mental health coverage. Due to research and multiple sources comprehensive parity requires equal coverage, not necessarily "good" coverage. If the health insurance plan is very limited, then mental health coverage will be compromised even in a state with a strong law or in a plan that is subject to another nature of parity.

This resilience has been shown to help managers to enable their staff to withstand the changing needs of the healthcare system. However, this is not something that can be taught, and is not a trait but more of a state of mind including being realistic, in the moment, aware and prepared (Countu, 2002). One main criticism of this observation is that we will have no way of knowing whether the staff were acting as they usually would or whether they were acting differently as they were aware they were being observed, as this has been shown to change the nature of a person’s behaviour and is more commonly referred to as the “Hawthore Effect” (Campbell, Maxey and Watson, 1995). Another key issue is that again these views are subjective and emotion/demeaner are not always universally interpreted.

Today, the amount of coverage and treatment that mentally ill individuals are provided with may depend on what type of insurance they have. However, as shown above, there is a variation in the amount of coverage for mental health services as opposed to physical health services (McLaughlin, 2004). There are many reasons why private and public health care programs have claimed for providing inadequate insurance coverage for mental versus physical health, including claiming that "… that mental health care is costlier and less efficacious than physical health care," (Tovino, 2012). This, however, completely ignores the differences between mental and physical health care and needs. Mental health care is certainly viewed in a more positive light today than in previous years, however, poor insurance coverages show that many do not take it as seriously as they must.
