Elkötelezettségét

Elkötelezettségét is a Hungarian term that denotes commitment or dedication, used to describe a sustained binding to a person, organization, cause, or task. It implies voluntary engagement, motivation, and perseverance beyond mere obligation. The nuance distinguishes elkötelezettség from kötelesség, which refers more to duty or obligation imposed by rules; elkötelezettség signals inner commitment and long‑term involvement.

The word comes from kötelezett (bound, obligated) and the noun suffix -ség, with the prefix el- adding emphasis or a sense of completion. Thus elkötelezettség refers to a state of being bound in a voluntary, enduring way to something larger than oneself.

In practice, elkötelezettség is used across domains. In the workplace it describes employee engagement and loyalty to a company or project; in politics or civil society it refers to commitment to shared goals; in personal life it can denote devotion to a partner or family. It is a qualitative, often subjective attribute, so assessment typically relies on observed behavior, consistency, and self‑report.

The possessive form elkötelezettségét is used when the commitment belongs to someone or something and is treated as a definite object in a sentence, for example when stating that a particular agent’s commitment is shown or evaluated.

Related terms include elhivatottság (ardent devotion) and hűség (loyalty).
