Abstract:
This study examines the relationships between job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among university teachers in China and explores their implications for the strategic job productivity model. The purpose of the research is to provide insights into the factors that influence teacher performance and productivity in the university setting. The study adopts a quantitative research approach and collects data through a survey questionnaire administered to a sample of 323 university teachers in China. The questionnaire includes validated scales to measure job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis are employed to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses. The findings of the study indicate significant positive relationships between job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among university teachers. Specifically, higher levels of job involvement are associated with greater job satisfaction and stronger organizational commitment. Moreover, job satisfaction is found to mediate the relationship between job involvement and organizational commitment, suggesting that satisfied teachers are more likely to exhibit higher levels of commitment to the organization. These findings have important implications for the strategic job productivity model in the university context. The results suggest that enhancing job involvement can lead to increased job satisfaction and organizational commitment among university teachers. This, in turn, can positively impact their performance and productivity. The study emphasizes the importance of creating a work environment that fosters job involvement, such as providing opportunities for professional development and fostering a collaborative work culture.
