| Summary: | The present work provides a systematic review on the current empirical research on job involvement. Specialized databases
were examined, with 65 studies being obtained, corresponding to the period January 2008-January 2018. The most relevant
findings indicate that: (a) Kanungo’s conception predominates; (b) variables linked to culture, organizational climate, and job
design are the most explored antecedents; (c) positive attitudes and behaviors are outcomes of job involvement, and; (d) ex post
facto and cross-sectional research of Asian and North American origin prevails, carried out on samples of employees from
different activities and professions. The article concludes with some final considerations and suggestions for future studies on the subject |
