The shared commitment to the goals of the organisation produces a common understanding about what is desirable and undesirable behaviour, and since the use of office for private gains detracts from the goals of the organisation, it becomes undesirable behaviour. This paper argues that the civil servants in India do not identify either with the organisations they work in or with the civil service as a group. The members of the all-India Services do not identify with the departments they work in because of their short stay in the departments; neither do they identify with their respective Service cadre organisations because the Service organisations have forfeited the attribute needed to create and nurture the required esprit de corps. For the large majority of civil servants in India who are recruited to a department and spend their entire official career spanning thirty to thirty-five years in these departments, there is the opposite of identification - a deep-seated sense of disenchantment and fundamental alienation from the organisation. - Reproduced
