Relationship of Job involvement with Employee Performance: Moderating role of Attitude

Job involvement was considered very important in the previous literature for increasing the performance of the employees. It is hypothesized that involved employees exert considerable efforts for achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. These kinds of employees are highly productive and produce better results as compare to the employees who are not involved with their job. These employees work for the organization with their hand, head and heart. Several studies examined the relationship of job involvement with employee performance and claimed that there is a positive relationship between these two variables. In this paper we try to further explain the construct of job involvement and combined the results of different studies in this context. This paper also tries to explain the controversies between the results of different studies and propose to make more construct valid measure for job involvement. Further we also conceptualize the relationship of employee attitude in this connection.
