Commitment comes from the heart - one can commit themselves to something (e.g. a cause, a relationship) - it is a "want to", and not an obligation - you cannot impose commitment onto others or want others commit, it is a personal choice and its basis is love. Compliance on the other hand, is primarily based on obligation - is is a "have to". You can impose compliance onto others by force or by other external means instance law, rules and regulations. The basis of compliance is fear and it enforced by some form of threat.
Commitment is ofcourse the strongest of the two. You can inspire commitment in others but you cannot force others to commit (you can force them to comply). It is by far more effective to inspire commitment in others rather than compliance by means of force and rules and regulations. Commitment results in higher quality motivation, well-being and productivity, compliance results in lower quality motivation, lower well-being and lower productivity.
