Job involvement of intrinsically and extrinsically motivated Indian managers: to each according to his need
Abstract
This study tests the notion that the attitude of job involvement is a function of the degree of satisfaction with one’s salient needs, be they intrinsic or extrinsic. Data from 33 primarily intrinsically motivated and 43 primarily extrinsically motivated managers, selected from a sample of 215 Indian managers, were analyzed to test two hypotheses: (1) the attitude of job involvement will be positively correlated with the satisfaction of salient needs only; and (2) both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated managers will be equally job involved provided their salient needs are not met.
