Work and Nonwork Psychological Involvements

The Search for Linkage

Barbara S. Romzek

The University of Kansas

This article explores relationships among employees' work and nonwork psychological involvements in an effort to uncover some of the complexity of employees as multidimensional human beings. The relationships found reflect a pattern of involvements consistent with Van Maanen and Schein `s (1977) three-dimensional interactional schema of work, family, and self-development. These findings suggest that models of employees' accommodation to work and nonwork involvements need to incorporate a separate "self" dimension. Although direct results indicate a segregation pattern of accommodation to work and nonwork psychological involvements, closer examination reveals a pattern of links between work and nonwork involvements, with personal life efficacy as the pivotal variable.
