Compare and contrast job involvement and organizational commitment.
What will be an ideal response?
Job involvement is the degree to which people identify themselves with their jobs. Organizational commitment is the degree to which an individual identifies with an organization and is willing to put forth an effort on its behalf. Thus, an individual could be highly involved with his or her job or career yet have low commitment to the specific organization that he or she is working with. The two constructs are similar in that job dissatisfaction leads to low job involvement and low organizational commitment over time. Also, both low job involvement and low organizational commitment make an employee more difficult to motivate.
