Abstract

Business and Management job satisfaction job involvement flourishing at work job engagement disengagement productivity
The aim of this paper is to explore two constructs identified in the literature as potentially being linked to effectiveness in managing monotony at work, job satisfaction and job involvement. Both job satisfaction and job involvement have been the focus of significant academic inquiry and to some degree argued to be related to predicting success at flourishing in the 'zone' at work. This paper shows that while both constructs may be useful in understanding the 'zone' at work, there is potentially higher veracity in Job involvement. Nonetheless, the paper concludes that because job satisfaction is such a familiar landmark in the management literature and in the frontline of organizations it still remains a useful reference point to further the understanding what helps to bring workers into the 'zone'.
