Abstract:
Job involvement is an essential aspect of an employee’s job life cycle and is form a part of an effective
human resource management process. Also, job involvement is directly connected to organizational performance
as well. In this descriptive analysis, it was intended to study the factors that determine the performance of the
organization caused by job involvement in the Flexible packaging industry in Sri Lanka. The study is based on a
Flexible Packaging Company, a Sri Lankan large scale printing manufacturer and a distributor. The study
evaluated seven independent variables namely (a) support within the organization, (b) personal traits, (c)
relationship with peers (d) training and development. The organizational performance resulted from job
involvement is considered as the determinant. A mixed methodology with an inductive approach was used to
identify the relationship. The study identified that only three variables namely (a) support within the organization,
(b) personal traits, (c) relationship with peers (d) training and development have a relationship with organizational
performance. The study contributes academically through filling gaps in past research that do not consider the
impact applied by the individuals' esteem, social influence, and Environment concern on job involvement by the
individual employee. The small sample size is the major limitation of this study when generalizing research
outcomes to the real world. This research initiates the pathways to do future in-depth research especially
considering the globalization effect in the flexible packaging industry.
