The analysis findings indicate that affective commitment considerably impacts employee engagement, namely in terms of dedication and employee creativity. The research findings also suggest that the factors of devotion and creativity exert a notable influence on task performance. Furthermore, it is seen that effective utilization of creativity can propel task performance, consequently exerting a positive influence on improving performance quality. The findings of this study indicate that the fashion industry sector has the potential to improve task and quality performance through the cultivation of affective commitment, dedication, and employee inventiveness.
