Present study made an attempt to find out the relationship of social support and job involvement in bank staff. Social support is broadly defined as the resources provided by other persons and can be conceptualized as the function of one’s network. Social support is considered one of the mechanisms through which social networks are thought to affect health Job-involvement refers to your involvement with or alienation from a specific job. The study aimed to correlate the social support and job involvement in clerks working in Urban Co- operative bank, Bareilly. A total of fifty employees, aged 26 to 40 years participated in this research. Purposive sampling technique was applied to select the subject. Social Support Scale developed by Cohen et al. (1985) and Hindi adaptation of Job Involvement Scale (Kapoor & Singh, 1978; of Lodahl & Kejner’s Job Involvement Scale) was used to fulfil the objectives of the present investigation and subjected to statistical analysis. The coefficient of correlation between social support and job involvement among bank employees is 0.13 which is positively related. It brings out this idea that if social support increases, then job involvement also increased and if social support decreases then job involvement surely decreases.
