Previous research on involvement's role in the turnover process has rendered conflicting results. There has been evidence that: 1) job involvement moderates the relationship between organizational commitment and actual turnover (Blau & Boal, 1989); 2) no moderation effect exists when the appropriate quantitative methods were used (Huselid & Day, 1991); and 3) job involvement and organizational commitment interactively influence turnover through the mediation of turnover intention (Sjoberg & Sverke, 2000). Additionally, the work involvement facet of the involvement construct has been omitted from previous research. This investigation replicated the previous involvement-turnover findings using the proper quantitative methodology, logistic regression. Previous research is then extended by including work involvement as an additional psychological construct to consider in the turnover process. Results provide consistent evidence that job involvement interacts with organizational commitment to predict actual turnover in two distinct samples. Results also show that work involvement does not appear to be nearly as important as job involvement in the turnover process.
