    Trabajo de carácter teórico en el que se discute el sentido de la diferencia entre implicación, compromiso y centralidad con el trabajo. Tras un repaso a las diferentes aportaciones tanto teóricas como empíricas en las que se utilizan estos conceptos, los autores discuten las diferencias conceptuales que se reflejan en los mismos. Asimismo se discute el modo en que estos conceptos han sido operacionalizados en la investigación empírica. El análisis aportado por los autores lleva a plantearse si realmente estos conceptos son distintos, o por el contrario se ha estudiado un mismo constructo con diferentes nombres. El trabajo aporta conclusiones para el debate sobre la existencia de un constructo común

    This is a theoretical study about the meaning of the difference between job involvement, commitment and centrality. Conceptual differences are discussed following a literature review of theoretical and empirical contributions. There is also a discussion about how research has addressed these concepts. The authors of this paper wonder whether these are different concepts or just the same construct with different names. Some conclusions are offered for a discussion on the existence of a common construct.
