Impact of Job Involvement on In-Role Job Performance and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour

Abstract

This study examines the impact of job involvement on the self-report measures of inrole job performance and organizational citizenship behaviour. The results of this study revealed that job involvement was positively correlated with both in-role job performance (r = 0.30, p<0.01) and OCB (r = 0.43, p<0.01). In addition to this it was found that organizational commitment partially mediated the job involvement performance relationship. Furthermore the findings of this research uncovered that job involvement exerted a stronger impact on OCB than on in-role performance. Finally the practical implications of this research for organizations are discussed.
