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.
