Abstract:  The purpose of this article is to reveal whether there are any relationships between   the components of people management, the dimensions of the employees’ commitment and the socio-demographic characteristics of the interviewees. Furthermore, it is also the goal of this  article to find out if there are any correlations between the two areas mentioned above. To carry  out our research, we performed a primary examination among the students of the Faculty of  Economics and Social Sciences at the Eszterházy Károly University in Eger, Hungary. The questionnaire  was filled out by 410 people. We applied several mathematical and statistical methods  to analyze the data. We can conclude from the results that the respondents’ age, position and the  size of their salaries are in relation to the judgment of people management and the extent of their  commitment. In addition, people management is related to the size of the organization and the  commitment is related to the time of employment. During our examinations to reveal the relationships  between these two areas, it also turned out that all four components of people management are in connection with the affective, normative, professional, team-oriented and career-oriented  types of commitment.

Keywords:  Employees, Commitment, Management.
