Job involvement is related to both in-role job performance organizational citizenship behavior according to new research (Chughtai, 2008). Job involvement refers to the employee’s level of commitment, in-role job performance refers to how well an employee performs formal job requirements, and organizational citizenship is an umbrella term for roles or functions that an employee takes on that are not part of his or her formal job requirements.
Specifically, the results indicated a medium-sized correlation between job commitment and in-role job performance, and between job commitment and organizational citizenship. The sample consisted of 195 teachers from over fifty universities in Pakistan. The job-involvement scale measured its namesake, a measure created for the purpose of this study assessed in-role performance, and items from the Chinese Citizenship Behaviour scale and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Scale measured organizational citizenship behavior.
