• Resumen

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify if there were relative and combined influence of marital satisfaction, perceived organizational support on job involvement of employed women.

      Theoretical framework: Despite their demanding roles at home, employed women are expected to be at their best in the work-front.  The study investigated the influence of marital satisfaction and perceived organizational support on job involvement among employed women.

      Design/Methodology/Approach: Two hundred employed women from South-West Nigeria chosen through proportional stratified random sampling technique served as participants. The 5-item Job Involvement Questionnaire (JIQ), a 20-item Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire (POSQ), and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMSS) of 16 items were the instruments used. Three hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance with multiple regression analysis and correlation matrices.

      Findings: Results showed that marital satisfaction and organizational support combined to influence job involvement (F(2, 197) = 40.942, p < .05), organizational support (β = .202; t = 14.613; p < .05) and marital satisfaction (β = .134; t = 10.402; p < .05) had significant relative influence on job involvement, and there were significant positive bivariate relationships among the variables of the study.

      Research, Practical & Social implications: It was concluded that marital satisfaction is an important area of life for employed women and along with organizational support, could significantly impact job involvement.

      Originality/Value: Results revealed that relationships among marital satisfaction, perceived organizational support, and job involvement exist hence employees do have perceptions of organizations that may affect their attitudes, behaviours and performance.
