- Abstract:
- Purpose: Employee job involvement leads to individual satisfaction within the workplace and has a positive impact on individual performance. With the implementation of innovative staffing arrangements, many employees are left with undesirable staffing options. The relationship between work status congruence and job involvement is still unclear. Studies on work status and job involvement have been conducted on professional groups, students and educators. This study examined the relationship of work status congruence and employee job involvement for a previously unstudied population of low-income workers. Method: This correlational study used t tests for two independent groups (congruent and incongruent) to examine the difference between the means for individual work status congruence and job involvement. Each respondent completed a self-administered anonymous survey instrument (Kanungo, 1982b) that was used to determine a nominal (categorical) score for work status, and an interval score on a job involvement questionnaire. Respondents’ nominal scores were used to place the respondents into two independent groups and their interval score averages were used to determine their level of job involvement. The t test examined the difference by using the mean scores of each group. Major Finding: This study found that low-income individuals with work status congruence had higher levels of job involvement than low-income individuals whose work status is incongruent.
