Billionaire Ken Fisher Boosts His Stake in These 4 Dividend Stocks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Billionaire Ken Fisher's Fisher Asset Management has filed its quarterly 13F disclosure with the SEC, presenting its portfolio of equity holdings as of the end of the March quarter. The portfolio's top positions continue to include large-cap, dividend-paying stocks such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Cisco Systems, General Electric, and Wells Fargo. During the quarter, Fisher also significantly boosted his stake in Apple and several other positions that pay attractive dividend yields.
With this in mind, here is a closer look at four stocks paying yields above 2% that Fisher was bullish about last quarter
Fisher boosted his position in McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) by 27% to more than 2.3 million shares. The company reported a 1% rise in its first-quarter revenues and a 2% increase in EPS, as comparable sales dipped 1% partly because of "comparisons against strong prior year results that included an additional day in 2012 due to leap year." Despite its expectations that "challenging global environment and bottom-line pressures" will persist, McDonald's is targeting 2013 sales growth in the range of 3%–5% and operating income growth in the range of 6%–7%.
The company's CEO recently suggested McDonald's could start offering all-day breakfast menus and delivery in some countries and U.S. locations, which could help bolster its sales in the future. The company also continues to expand globally, planning to open up 1,600 new restaurants worldwide this year. McDonald's operates in 119 countries around the world, including China, which the company sees as a major opportunity despite food safety issues. McDonald's has raised dividends for 36 years in a row. Its current yield is 3.0% and its payout ratio is 54%.
Rio Tinto PLC (NYSE: RIO), the world's second-largest mining company, was another position in Fisher's portfolio that saw a notable increase last quarter. Fisher increased his ownership in Rio Tinto by 29% to some 10 million shares. This dividend payer has a yield of 3.5%, a payout ratio of 27% of its current-year EPS estimate, and five-year annualized dividend growth of 4.0%. The company's shares look inexpensive, valued at 7.7x its 2013 earnings and 6.9x its 2014 earnings. With the weakness in the commodities markets, the stock has lost 8.6% over the past 12 months.
Still, Rio Tinto reported strong first-quarter operating results, achieving record first-quarter iron ore production, shipment and rail volumes. Rio Tinto is expanding iron ore output capacity and expecting a 4.7% increase in production this year. On the other hand, Rio Tinto's mined copper output jumped 26% year-over-year last quarter; however, copper output will be adversely affected by a landslide at the company's Bingham Canyon copper mine that took place in April. After taking a $14 billion impairment charge in its full-year 2012 results, Rio Tinto is now divesting non-core assets and aiming to achieve $5 billion in cost savings over the next two years. The company's new CEO has promised a greater focus on shareholder returns.
Syngenta AG (NYSE: SYT), a Swiss-based agri-business focused on crop productivity, is also one of Fisher's positions that markedly increased last quarter. Fisher hiked his Syngenta stake by 24% in the quarter to some 881,667 shares. The company is attractive in the long-term based on the generally positive outlook for agri-businesses producing crop productivity and protection products amid a growth in emerging markets' population and per capita incomes leading to higher food (including grains) consumption and planting. Last year, Syngenta saw its sales rise 7% (10% in constant currency) to $14.2 billion and adjusted EPS jump 15%.
Sales growth rates in North and Latin Americas were 20% and 12%, respectively. The strong sales momentum has carried into 2013, with the first-quarter reported sales up 6% year-over-year (8% in constant currency). Syngenta's strong long-term outlook is reflected in the company's goal to reach $25 billion in sales of its eight key crops by 2020 (from $13.4 billion in 2012). Since 2007, Syngenta's EPS grew at a CAGR of 14%, while its dividends grew at a CAGR of 17%. Last month, the company's shareholders approved a 19% dividend increase. Currently, Syngenta pays a dividend yield of 2.4% on a payout ratio of 50%.
BP (NYSE: BP) was another of Fisher's position with a large first-quarter boost in ownership. Fisher hiked his share count in BP by 28,478% to nearly 1.47 million shares. The company looks like a good value, trading at only 8.7x forward earnings, below its peers on average, and 10% above book value. BP is severely bruised in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. As a result, it has been divesting assets—to the tune of $38 billion—in order to cover associated expenses. Despite the woes, the company has been showing solid financial performance. In the previous quarter, it realized an adjusted profit of $4.2 billion, down 9% year-over-year, but some 30% better than expected by Wall Street.
Both oil prices and production were lower. However, the company is planning to increase capacity and output, targeting upstream investments to drive growth in higher-margin areas. Thus, BP expects to see its operating cash flow swell by 50% in 2014 from 2011. On March 21, BP completed the sale of its 50% interest in TNK-BP to Russia's Rosneft for a total of $27.5 billion in cash and Rosneft shares. As a result, BP now owns 19.75% of Rosneft. BP pays a dividend yield of 4.9% on a payout ratio of 43%.
Final thoughts
Fisher's moves can be a source of good ideas for research, given his track record as an investor. Testifying to his reputation in the investment arena is the fact that in 2010, Investment Advisor magazine named Fisher one of the 30 most influential figures in the investment advisory industry over the last 30 years, and it's always important to track hedge fund sentiment.
McDonald's turned in a dismal year in 2012, underperforming the broader market by 25%.

God of the sunshine, God of the rain, God of the harvest on hill and plain,Be with us now as, gathered here,We count the blessings of the year.Bless this feast, this board of cheer.Bless the family gathered here.Bless eager youth and elders grey.Bless absent loved ones far away.Accept our thanks for blessings past,The solid things, the things that last.For summer's sun and winter's snows,For laughter of children, the bloom of a rose.For profit to man from sweat and toil,For the miracle bounty of the soil.For the beauty of nature across the land,For the friendly grip of a neighbor's hand.For hidden blessings we cannot see,For these we give our thanks to thee.God of the harvest, be with us whenWe raise our voices in glad Amen.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins set to return
By ROBERT TYCHKOWSKI, QMI Agency
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers have dropped so many S-bombs in the last few years that even their most thick-skinned fans had to cover their ears.
Shoulder and Surgery have become dirty words in the snake-bitten club's vocabulary, so watching yet another player, this time Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, wrestle with the same issues that plagued Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky and Taylor Hall is enough to make anyone in Oil Country swear a blue streak.
Nugent-Hopkins doesn't have a date with a surgeon, the Oilers are hoping localized exercise can make things right, but it's still a scary situation when another one of their young thoroughbreds is hurting.
"It's good," said the 19-year-old centre, back on the ice Thursday after missing Wednesday's game with Dallas to rest his sore wing.
"It was good to get back out there. We're taking it day by day right now but I feel confident that I'll be ready to go (Saturday in Detroit)."

Moms who got pregnant again after your loss, how did you tell everyone? I am just coming to the realization that I really am pregnant (just saw the heartbeat this week). I am having a very difficult time (so want a baby, but am so scared) and don't want to tell anyone until at least 12 weeks (9 1/2 weeks now). Nervous about telling our family and friends (and work) for fear of their reaction. Knowing they will all be happy, but treat me differently. Feel like it will be back to when we just lost Faith. Sorry for rambling, but feeling so scared about everything.......
Thanks. Know you all would understand this.

Brother: They brought out the kids for the Villa-Man U game. And the kid in front of the ref was a little fat and potentially retarded. The ref had to keep telling him what to do. The kid was dragged off and all the players and the ref started cracking up. They need to bring that kid out for every game.

Let Fiber Fill You Up
How can you use fiber to help you lose and maintain your weight? Bank on
the bulk that fiber provides. It helps you feel fuller and more satisfied at
mealtime, which means you eat less.
Some fibrous foods take longer to chew, slowing the rate at which you eat. In general, many foods high in fiber are also low in fat and sugar. How can you safely and comfortably add more fiber to your diet?
Try these weight loss tips:
When planning meals, use a variety of whole grains including barley, bran, brown rice, cornmeal, whole wheat and wheat germ.
Choose fruits and vegetables with edible skins and seeds. Avoid preparing fruits and vegetables with fat, sauces, glazes or cheese. Be sure to keep your diet "close to the vine" by eating more whole fruits and vegetables instead of drinking juices.
Use Medibar Diet's drinks and protein bars to add variety, flavor and of course, fiber into your diet.

For immediate release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Metro Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) will continue to work with representatives in other cities on issues that affect the health and well being of all Americans in the coming year.
National League of Cities President James Mitchell, Jr. announces Welch's reappointment to the National League of Cities' (NLC) 2011 Human Development Policy and Advocacy Steering Committee.
"I am honored to be re-appointed for the 3rd year to this most important Committee which makes recommendations for quality of life issues for our cities," says Welch. "Our city has benefitted in numerous ways from the work done at the National League of Cities."
This Committee has the lead responsibility for developing NLC federal policy positions in the areas of social services, education, employment and workforce development, Social Security and seniors, individuals with disabilities, public health care, mental health, and immigration reform.
"The work of this committee becomes even more important as the President and Congress continue to turn around our economy," says Welch. "Many cities are still faced with challenges in job growth and at the same time key components of the new health care law are continuing to take effect, it will be an important year for the NLC."Sponsor:Vicki Aubrey Welch (D) 13

Found December 29, 2012 on Celtics Life:
PLAYERS: JaJuan Johnson, Luke Harangody, Mike Gansey, Kevin Jones, Courtney Lee
TEAMS: Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics
TEAMS: Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics
In a rare D-League trade, two recent Celtics, JaJuan Johnson and Luke Harangody, have been traded for each other. The Charge acquired former Purdue big man JaJuan Johnson on Friday, and they used an old friend to do it. Canton sent the rights to former Cavalier forward Luke Harangody and a 2013 third-round draft pick to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in exchange for Johnson and Fort Wayne's 2013 first-round draft pick. "JaJuan is a very good player," said Mike Gansey, director of development league operations for the Cavs, who own and operate the Charge. "He's hurt us a lot when we've played him. We thought this was the best move for us right now going forward. Also, to get a first-round draft pick (next season) is rare." The 6-foot-10, 208-pound Johnson, a long-armed forward/center who likes to step out and shoot jumpers rather then bang down low, averaged 13.2 points on 39.7-percent shooting in 13 games for the Mad Ants. He also averaged 8.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks while registering f...

With most accounts under its Chase Credit Cards brand, JPMorgan retained the top spot in Lafferty's list. The global lender serviced more than 96 million credit card accounts during 2009, growing its portfolio despite new marketing restrictions on U.S. banks. Lafferty also tracked a steep decline in the number of credit cards issued by Bank of America, now nearly tied with Chinese lender ICBC at 54 million accounts each.
China Merchants Bank and the three Brazilian up-and-comers (Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, and Ita��-Unibanco) all represent the growing market for personal credit cards in South America and Asia. Although Lafferty researchers noted that American adults typically hold two or three cards each, the issuance of new credit card accounts in emerging markets surpassed those in the United States during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009.

Let's remember, Jesus was a Jewish man of color, born homeless to an unwed teenager, who spent his formative years as an illegal immigrant before returning to his home country to hang out with twelve men, prostitutes, and socially untouchable tax collectors while he taught a radical social doctrine of equality, love, and forgiveness that included paying taxes, free healthcare, and the sharing of resources within a community.
I will happily lay my life to an inevitable end knowing that I was not part of the generation of humans who fall victim to the toxic wavelengths emitting death through television, and false security through the papers, and indecent exposure through speakers, and no end to a means that will soon enough end us all.
Here's the kicker regarding guns. Single handedly, the most important argument AGAINST arming citizens. The number one reason why I KNOW we should not, in any way, shape, or form, be carrying guns. The ONLY reason, which by definition, proves that if we were allowed to carry guns in public, absolute CHAOS would ensue…
There is only one way to justify an attack. It is not bloodshed, it is not bruises, it is not 1 person explaining their side of the story. It is BOTH people involved in the "attack" appearing before a jury of their peers, and executing the American Judicial System. We do not, and never have, lived in a society where we simply "believe" whatever someone says. We need answers, we need reasons, we need motive, we need evidence, etc.
If we lived in a society in which citizens carried weapons to "defend" themselves from "attackers," - we just destroyed the country we live in and completely re-defined the terms "attack, attacker, predator, and prey." We would be "allowed" to carry out retribution for "attacks" by "shooting to kill" other members of society, regardless of their motive and predetermined act, and we would all get away with it, because there is only our story to tell, since the "attacker" is dead.
What would prevent people from killing anyone they wished, and simply calling it "self defense?"
Nothing. That is the answer.
Over time, and with our new "everyone's a killer, but I'm safe because I have a gun" attitude, a homeless 40 year old with tourette's, jumping from behind a garbage can, asking you for change, becomes an "attacker."
This, my friend, is the single, most important reason as to why we need to keep guns OUT of the public. Imagine this scenario: Everyone has a gun, legally (for protection). Now, the element of surprise is completely eliminated. You can kill a person from a quarter mile away and no one has any idea who, what, where or why. And guess what? The person being "attacked," had no idea, and his legal weapon he was legally carrying to legally protect himself, was worthless. This is not a world I want to live in, and fortunately, thanks to the Government we have, this is not a world I will live in.
Modern Capitalism is a group of lower class citizens and a group of wealthy citizens, and the Government says "Let's help the rich because they help us."
Modern Socialism, which should penetrate our economic system much more than it does, is the Government saying "The rich are doing just fine on their own, let's see what we can do to help the poor to level the playing field."

Slime moulds use a form of spatial "memory" to navigate, despite not having a brain, a study has found. Scientists in Australia studied the organisms in an experiment normally used to test robots. They found that the slime mould could navigate around a U-shaped maze to a food source, using their slimy deposits. Researchers compare its path-finding method to Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumb trail. (via BBC Nature - Brainless slime mould has an external memory)
That is f*cking interesting. SCIENCE!
A brainless multi-celled organism = has a memory.

Following are updates on recent developments surrounding lean finely textured beef (LFTB):
Prices have risen for LFTB component: Dow Jones reported that wholesale prices for "50 percent lean" beef trimmings -- one of the components in lean finely textured beef (LFTB) -- have risen by more than 50 percent from mid-April lows, according to USDA data. Ironically the story ran just a day after Beef Products Inc. announced they were permanently shuttering three of their four plants that make LFTB, saying demand for the product had slumped and not recovered. (see item below for details on this....)
PERSPECTIVE: The uptick in prices for the product may well be too little, too late, as evidenced by the BPI announcement. It may also signal that those products are finding some other "home" in the meat sector since the LFTB demand has dropped off so dramatically.
USDA responds to comments from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on LFTB: USDA is taking exception to comments from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) who contends the USDA response to the LFTB situation helped to make matters worse.
Following the USDA move to offer schools the option to not purchase LFTB for use in lunches despite insisting the product was safe, Grassley said USDA "immediately said hot lunch programs didn't have to purchase it and so that sent a signal if it wasn't good enough for the hot lunch program, it wasn't good enough for this supermarket and that supermarket and they all jumped on board."
Radio Iowa noted that Grassley's comments did not sit well with USDA, quoting Communications Director Matt Paul as saying, "You know, we were very disappointed that Senator Grassley made that characterization. From the first discussion of this in the national news, USDA was very strong in pointing out the safety record of LFTB. And in fact, at the pinnacle of this public discussion, the company cited USDA's support for the product."
Paul further noted, "All we said was that schools have a choice if they don't want to receive this product, we on behalf of them, sort of their wholesaler, are simply making a case based on their concerns until there's some greater public understanding of LFTB, that we would give district the option."
The USDA response was based on "a consistent message about the safety of this product," Paul said.
PERSPECTIVE: Grassley isn't the only one who has questioned the USDA response to the LFTB situation. Others have noted the apparent contrast between USDA's response to the LFTB developments and the apparent message USDA sent to foreign buyers of U.S. beef in the wake of the fourth U.S. case of BSE - that the product is safe and there is no reason for them to halt imports of U.S. beef. Only Indonesia opted to place any limits on U.S. beef.
Meat Industry Update: LFTB Closings | Safeway Pork | Taiwan Team in U.S.
Beef Products Inc. to permanently close 3 plants: Beef Products Inc. announced it will permanently close its plants that produce Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kansas; and Waterloo, Iowa. Its South Sioux City, Nebraska, plant will continue to operate at a reduced capacity.

Book Description:
In these essays, completed shortly before his death in 1989, James Snead offers a thoughtful inquiry into the intricate modes of racial coding in Hollywood cinema from 1915 to 1985. The text presents three major methods through which the racist ideology within film functions: "mythification", in which black images are correlated in a larger scheme of semiotic valuation where the dominant "I" needs the marginal "other" in order to function effectively; marking, in which the colour black is repeatedly over-determined and redundantly marked, as if to force the viewer to register the image's difference from white; and omission - the repetition of black absence from positions of autonomy and importance. The study offers an array of film texts, drawn from both classical Hollywood cinema and Black independent film culture.

SunPower plan to streamline manufacturing operations, lower costs and improve efficiency
As part of this initiative, the company will temporarily idle six of the 12 lines in its Fab 2 cell manufacturing plant and 20 percent of panel manufacturing in the Philippines to significantly reduce inventory, lower operational costs and improve efficiency.
As a result, the overall blended utilization for the fourth quarter will be approximately 60 percent. Additionally, the company will reduce its workforce by approximately 900 employees with the reductions occurring primarily in the Philippines.

Women's Soccer Player Leigh Ward Wins 1st-Runner Up at Miss Spartanburg Pageant: Ward talks about her experience at Saturday night's Miss Spartanburg Pageant
Competing in her first pageant since she was in high school, USC Upstate women's soccer player Leigh Ward was named 1st-Runner up at Saturday night's Miss Spartanburg Pageant. The Summerville, S.C., native has been part of the women's soccer program at Upstate for three seasons and in the fall will participate in her final season as a Spartan. Ward recently talked with Alex Edwards of Upstatespartans.com to discuss her experience on Saturday night.

Crystal Humbert, a senior from Pelzer majoring in nursing, and Dr. Lynette Gibson, associate professor of nursing, received a Magellan Scholar Award for a research study titled, "Breast Cancer Beliefs and Mammography Screening Intention in African American Women." The Magellan Scholar program was created to enrich the academic experience of University of South Carolina's undergraduates through research opportunities in all disciplines from science, technology, and medicine, to theatre, music, and art. By providing access to faculty mentoring relationships and a professional research experience, this program enables students to creatively explore their interests at a more in-depth level than can be attained in the classroom. The Magellan Scholar program provides opportunities for undergraduates to build a competitive edge in the job market.USC Upstate Enforces No-Smoking PolicyBy Gary Glancy, Originally posted on GoUpstate.com, Published: Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 3:15 a.m.The University of South Carolina Upstate says it is stamping out leniency when it comes to its campuswide ban on smoking. "Up until the last two or three months, we haven't been asked (by university administration) to take an aggressive enforcement policy," said Klay Peterson, the university's chief of police, "but that has since changed, and we have definitely stepped up our vigilance in that regard." It has been more than a year since the university implemented its smoke-free policy, and the topic once again is a hot one after a law in North Carolina banning smoking in restaurants and bars went into effect earlier this month.

Seasonal influenza, traditionally seen in the Upstate in January and February each year, has not yet been documented, so it is not too late to receive the vaccine! Health Services exhausted its original supply of this vaccine in November. A limited amount of additional seasonal flu vaccine has since been obtained by Health Services for administration to students, faculty, and staff. The cost is $10 for students, $20 for employees, payable by check or cash only. Health Services is not equipped to accept credit or debit cards. Appointments can be scheduled while supplies last, by calling: (864) 503-5191. Some students who are under age 19 and uninsured, underinsured, or Medicaid-eligible, may qualify to receive this vaccine at no charge to them. Receipts can be issued with appropriate coding for insurance reimbursement at the time of the visit; however, Health Services is not currently a provider in any insurance network.
The H1N1 pandemic is not over! New cases are being reported daily, all over the world, including the Upstate! Since the H1N1 vaccine is now in plentiful supply, this vaccine can be administered to anyone desiring vaccination through Health Services by scheduling an appointment at (864) 503-5191. This vaccine can be given at the same visit as the seasonal vaccine, and is being offered at no charge by the government; however, there is an associated administration charge of $5 for students and employees. The same qualifications regarding age and insurance status may qualify students to receive this vaccine at no charge, as well. Insured individuals may be able to receive reimbursement, provided individual carriers will approve, since Health Services is not considered an "in-network provider."

Health Services is now administering this vaccine to males between the ages of 18-26, in addition to females. It is a 3-injection series given over 6-months time, and is given at $125/dose. Some students will qualify to receive this vaccine at no charge to them; others may qualify for a patient assistance program or vaccine reimbursement program from the manufacturer. Details are available through Health Services. Payment will be collected at the time of vaccine administration via cash or check only, as above, with appropriate documentation coding for reimbursement issued at the visit.
Piedmont Blood Center will return to campus for another blood drive in conjunction with Homecoming Week, on Saturday, February 13 from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Hodge Center parking lot to coincide with the basketball game scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

A special Senate Committee on Education met on Jan. 14 to hear testimony on H. 3365 (Higher Education Efficiency and Administrative Policies Act, commonly known as Regulatory Relief for Higher Education). An earlier update reported that this bill impacts higher education in procurement rules and thresholds, human resource autonomies, and capital improvement regulations. The bill will result in savings and efficiencies that will streamline many operations, particularly capital project work. The bill passed the House last April. This committee passed the bill unanimously with technical amendments and will send it next week to the full Senate Education committee. It is written to become law upon signature of the Governor (not July 1st, as many bills are written). Best-case scenario would see H.3365 passed by the Senate sometime in the next six to eight weeks. For more information, contact John Perry, executive director of University Boards & Public Affairs.

Microsoft Office for iPad said to arrive soon, Microsoft calls claims 'inaccurate'A new version of Microsoft Office designed for the iPad is rumored to arrive on the App Store soon, as hands-on impressions with the suite have been shared online, though Microsoft has called the information "inaccurate" [updated].
News Corp's The Daily for iPad offered the first glimpse at Office for iPad on Tuesday. Author Matt Hickey got to spend some time with a "working prototype" of the productivity suite, which features Microsoft's trademark "Metro" design found on Windows Phone and the forthcoming Windows 8.
"Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be created and edited locally and online," he said. "But it's unclear if Microsoft will support other Office apps at launch or at all."
The design side of the project is said to have already wrapped up, but an exact launch date remains unknown. It was said that the project "could be released in the coming weeks."
Update: In a statement to The New York Times, Microsoft has said that the original story "is based on inaccurate rumors and speculation." The company declined to give any further comment.
The original report cited anonymous sources in adding that Microsoft Office for iPad will "soon be submitted to Apple for approval." No pricing or other details were provided.
While Office is coming to iPad, Microsoft reportedly has no plans to bring its suite to competing tablets running the Google Android mobile operating system. The Redmond, Wash., company is also said to be planning an update to its existing OneNote application for iOS to add a Metro user interface.
The Daily first indicated last November that Microsoft was preparing a new version of its Office suite for Apple's iPad. In addition, an updated version of Office for OS X Lion users was also revealed, and is expected to become available on Apple's Mac App Store.
Apple currently offers its competing iWork productivity suite on the iPad as three standalone applications. Pages, Keynote and Numbers for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch are each available for $9.99 on the App Store.
On Topic: Microsoft
- Jen Taylor, voice of Microsoft Windows Cortana, prefers to use Apple's iPhone
- Microsoft, HTC use Windows Phone's Cortana to poke fun at Apple's iPhone in new ad
- Steve Ballmer leaves Microsoft board to concentrate on other responsibilities

The relationship between organizational commitment and intention to leave: A model of
AbstractThe aim of this article is to provide empirical evidence on two questions belonging to the research agenda of organizational commitment research: the possible existence of several facets of continuance commitment, and of non-linear relationships between organizational commitment and various organizational behaviors and their predictors, such as turnover and intention to leave the organization. An empirical research through a survey with 241 respondents has been carried out, and hypotheses have been tested through hierarchic linear regression. The results obtained confirm the relationship between affective commitment and intention to leave found in previous research, and the existence of two distinct components of continuance commitment. There have not been found non-linear relationships between organizational commitment and the intention to leave the organization. One of the most important managerial implications of this research is that in order to reduce turnover, human resource managers should foster affective and continuance organizational commitment among the employees.
