ABSTRACT

It is widely known that public officials with higher level of job involvement tend to have lower job stress but higher level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment., but it remains unknown that such relationships are held true for firefighters who work in rigid and unsafe work environments. This study aims to examine the effect of Job Involvement on job stress, job satisfaction and organizational commitment among firefighters working in Gyeongbuk region of South Korea. It first clarifies the definition of job stress, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job involvement and then uses multivariate analyses to test the hypotheses using the sample data. The results of statistical analyses confirm a negative impact of job involvement on job stress as well as a positive effect of job involvement on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The results of this study would provide policy implications for firefighting organizations in South Korea as well as the direction for future research.
