Introduction
The purpose of studying relationship between job involvement and job performance is associated with the benefits of the organisation. The outcome is higher when employees get involved in the job. Many researchers suggest that there is a direct link between employees’ involvement, outcomes, and organisational performance and success. It was noted that the involvement of the employee can be determined by their body language. In past few years, it was claimed that the involvement of workers in their job is less. This has affected the growth of the firms. Different researchers have different approach to deal with the topic. Some give the critique ideology on basis of emotional intellect while others measure it on account of discrete employees’ efforts.
Job Involvement
The term ‘job involvement’ can be described as degree to which, an individual is engaged or concerned towards its current job. According to Rizwan et al. (2011), this kind of employees can be determined by the extent to which, they considered their job very important. Every researcher has its own version to define the job involvement.

(2014), it is believed that an employee is more loyal towards the organisation if it is highly satisfied of its job.
Job Performance
Job performance can be defined as the ability of an individual to achieve its working aim along with the expectation of the company’s goal. As stated by Danish et al. (2015), the performance is judged on the basis of quality and quantity of the individual’s work. The employees, which have commitment towards their work help in meeting of the organisational goal. The employees who produce more for the company are usually the individuals who are less involved in the loss of the company. Generally, job performance is all the behaviour shown by the employee while achieving its working aim. The quality and quantity both are equally determined to check the job performance of the individual. This is because the company’s overall profit is based on both the factors. However, as argued by Khan et al. (2011), job performance is not based on single factor but many factors are taken in consideration. Some of the factors that affect job performance are environmental characteristics, entrepreneurship dimensions, organisation and co-workers. Apart from this, there are...
