One of the major reasons I continue to work for this organization is that leaving would require considerable personal sacrifice and besides this, another organization may not match the overall benefit I have | 44 | 112 | 260 | 100 | 29 | 2.92 (0.96) | 48.07 | 46.05 | 50.09 | |

I do not think that to be a ‘company man’ or ‘company woman’ is sensible anymore | 56 | 86 | 215 | 123 | 65 | 3.10 (1.24) | 52.52 | 50.16 | 54.89 | |
