Which of the following tends to occur when organizations use golden handcuffs and other financial incentives to prevent dissatisfied employees from quitting?

A) Employees increase their level of affective commitment.
B) Employees increase their level of continuance commitment.
C) Employees increase their level of job satisfaction.
D) Employees decrease their level of emotional intelligence.
E) Employees decrease their level of continuance commitment.

Golden handcuffs and financial incentives are typically used to increase employees' level of continuance commitment by making it financially difficult for them to leave the organization. This type of commitment is based on the belief that leaving would result in significant costs or losses, such as losing valuable fringe benefits or retirement contributions. It does not necessarily increase affective commitment, job satisfaction or emotional intelligence, which are more closely tied to intrinsic motivators and fulfillment in the job.
