The participants consisted of 189 employees from Isfahan Steel Company in 2012 and they were selected according to the stratified random sampling method and responded questionnaires about demographic characteristics, perceived supervisor support, perceived coworker support and job involvement. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. .Result: The results showed that there were significant relationships between perceived supervisor support and perceived coworker support with job involvement (p<0.05).
