Although job involvement is a construct which has received appreciable empirical investigation, many questions still exist as to its influence on the perception of environmental conditions and on environment-satisfaction relationships. The purposes of the present research were to examine relationships between job involvement and perceived environmental conditions (operationalized in the form of organizational climate measures) and to investigate moderating effects on climate-satisfaction correlations. 80 hourly employees at an electrical equipment manufacturing plant responded to a questionnaire containing measures of job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational climate. Although job involvement was independent of climate perceptions, it did serve as a potent moderator of climate-satisfaction relationships; the high job-involvement group evidenced significant climate-satisfaction correlations in nine of 13 cases compared to only one for the low job-involvement group
