However Kanungo (1982) distinguished between employee dedication and job involvement. In his distinction, he characterizes the primary difference between employee dedication and job involvement as based on the fact that whereas employee dedication refers to a sense of consistency and commitment to a cause (in this case the job), whereas job involvement denotes an individual’s psychological identification with a particular job or with work in general (Kanungo, 1982). Additionally, both concepts (employee dedication and job involvement) are regarded as related and fairly stable phenomena. This is as the difference between both concepts is not as clear cut as it may appear and has not been clearly argued. However, employee dedication is observed to be a broader concept and to entail much more than job involvement because dedication comprises of feelings of pride, hope, inspiration, and challenge, whereas job involvement is more concerned with the psychological relevance of the job in the workers life (Mauno et al.,

Although it is important to know the ethical standards, professionals must also apply them into practice. The current case example examines the importance of professional consultation, when faced to identify ethical dilemmas in clinical practice, make ethical decisions, and gain insight into self-awareness.

Based off of the gratification an individual contains towards their work, job satisfaction is a key. The productivity could either be positive or negative, while the relationship between the productivity and satisfaction may not be consistent.

In his study about psychological conditions of personal engagement and disengagement at work, Kahn have shown that there are three psychological engagement elements that can influence an individual’s behaviour in relation to their job function. The elements are 1) meaningfulness - rewards from engagement, 2) safety - higher willingness to engage, and 3) availability - readiness to engage (Kahn, 1990).
