Abstract This research paper is about studying the impact of job involvement on the job productivity of female school teachers. Job involvement is measured through four independent variables i.e. job satisfaction, burnout and stress, work-family conflicts, family obligations which in turn affect the job productivity. . We used seven points likert scale. The aim of this study is to see how far job involvement is correlated with job productivity. We gathered data from female school teachers of Rawalpindi. According to the results of the correlation between the independent variables, job satisfaction, work-family conflict, family obligations and stress are not correlated with each other showing that the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable are free from the interferences of correlation of independent variables with each other. So, all independent variables are different from one another. The overall significance is at 95% confidence level. Job involvement when defined through stress, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction affects job productivity, whereas family obligations have no effect on job productivity.
Key words: job involvement, female teachers, job productivity, Pakistan, school, stress at work, burnouts, and work-family conflict. 1. Introduction: 2.1. Definition:
