Abstract
The relationship between work involvement and work performance.The primary goal of the study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the work involvement scores and work performance ratings of employees. A secondary goal was to determine whether work involvement could predict future work performance. The ‘‘Alienation-Involvement Scale’’ together with the ‘‘Comprehensive Structured Interviewing for Potential’’, were applied to a sample of convenience of 200 employees in job levels of workers, teamleaders and managers in a large
manufacturing organisation. The results are contradictory and they have yielded significant correlations between work involvement and work performance criteria for the worker group, only limited correlations for the management group, but none for the team leader group.
