Abstract
The previous searches indicate that job involvement of individuals in the workplace have important effect on individual and organizational outcomes. In theoretical level, this study aimed to explore the relationship between employees’ job involvement and their feeling of organizational commitment. For that aim, the survey was performed among the employees currently working at two multinational companies in Turkey. The survey data that was collected from 210 questionnaires were analyzed and evaluated. Within the analysis, it was seen that the job involvement perceptions of the employees in Turkey had an effect on their organizational commitment. The demographical factors were examined in terms of their impact on the relationship between employees’ job involvement and organizational commitment. It was seen that some of the findings were contradictory to the “job model” theory. As further, the findings of the study were interpreted in the conclusion part and relevant suggestions were made for future studies.
Key words: Job involvement, organizational commitment, employee involvement, Turkey.
