Abstract

This research's background is the decline of performance's commitment in employees on the structural position from supervisor to manager position. The research gives input to human resource development theory and contribution for organization leaders in order to strengthen and improve employees' performance commitment. This research used qualitative research method through in-depth interview to 13 informants, participative observation, and documentation in natural setting located in Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. The result of this research is not in line (reject) Maslow's perspective on needs which stated that the remuneration's increasement of recognition and self-actualization needs in material form that has already given to employees will inflict improvement of employees' performance; the reality said otherwise. This is viewed as the consequence of inability to accommodate social esteem needs which is fulfilment of non-material needs such as: (a) unilateral decision and policy from the company, (b) unclear policy and rules that should be applied but violated such as reward policy, pension fund, and career path, (c) unavailable room to voice opinion, and (d) decline of reward for performance improvement thus the company had difficulties to develop human resources.
