520 $a Job involvement, defined as the extent to which one's psychological identification with the job he is assigned, plays an important role in facilitating effective management. This study examines the causes of job involvement and the influences of job involvement on organizational commitment and job performance, in a case study of the Taipei Municipal Government.
520 $a A model of job involvement was tested by using quantitative analyses of secondary data as well as qualitative interview data from public managers. This model was constructed from multiple theories: individual dispositions, organizational situations, a mixture of both, and purposive calculations. It included six hypotheses. The secondary data were analyzed through descriptive analyses, regression analyses, and LISREL analyses. Following are the significant findings: (1) Job involvement, as expected, was positively affected by job attributes, perceived self-influence, an reward-performance contingency. It was also related to introverts and intrinsically-motivated workers and one's rank in the organization. But, unexpectedly, job satisfaction was not a good predictor of job involvement. Furthermore, the interaction effect of individual dispositions and organizational factors on job involvement was not clear. (2) Job involvement significantly influences organizational commitment. In general, a higher level of job involvement increases job performance, but influence from other factors need to be recognized. (3) Job attributes and self-influence were the top two predictors of job involvement. The research model of this study explained nearly 25% of the variance in job involvement, and it accounted for almost 55% of the variance in organizational commitment. (4) The interview data essentially affirmed the findings from the quantitative analyses. It also suggested that work ethics, leadership styles, the attitude of co-workers, and other policy or structural factors played significant roles in impacting job involvement.
520 $a In sum, this study has demonstrated the utility of using multiple perspectives in understanding job involvement. Including both quantitative and qualitative data in a single study increases the comprehensiveness of the analyses and enhances the validity of the findings. Implications of this study for the theory of job involvement in organizational effectiveness, methodological improvements, and practice are also discussed.
