<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which job involvement and job characteristics influence job satisfaction, with organisational commitment serving as a mediating variable. The research employed a sample of 85 employees from the entire population of PT Adimulia Palmo Lestari located in Batang Hari. The appropriate sample size was determined based on calculations using the Slovin’s formula. Information was gathered through the distribution of survey forms to 85 respondents and subsequently analysed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, processed with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that job involvement does not have a significant impact on organisational commitment. Conversely, job characteristics were found to have a significant effect on organisational commitment. Additionally, job involvement has a significant influence on job satisfaction, and there is also a significant relationship between job characteristics and job satisfaction. Furthermore, organisational commitment significantly affects job satisfaction. However, the mediation analysis showed that the linkage between job involvement and job satisfaction, mediated by organisational commitment, is not significant. Conversely, the connection between job characteristics and job satisfaction, mediated by organisational commitment, is significant. These results suggest that companies need to carefully manage job involvement to avoid excessive levels that could potentially decrease employee commitment. Moreover, maintaining and enhancing good job characteristics—such as providing clear responsibilities , autonomy, and feedback—are crucial, as they have been proven to improve both commitment and job satisfaction. Strengthening organisational commitment can be achieved through reward programmes and career development initiatives, ultimately leading to increased employee job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates.]]>
