leadership style on job involvement.” The second hypothesis stated that’ there
will be a statistical significant influence of perceived organizational support
on job involvement.
The third
hypothesis stated that “there will be a joint statistical significant influence
of leadership style and perceived organizational support on job involvement.
These hypotheses

The
result of the 2 x 2 ANOVA presented in the table above shows that the first
non- directional alternative hypothesis which stated, there will be a
statistical significant influence of leadership style on job involvement is
rejected (FA, (1,72) = 1.12 P> .05). This indicates that leadership style did
not have influence on job involvement.
The
second hypothesis which stated that there will be a statistical significant
influence of perceived organizational support on job involvement is accepted
(FB, (1,72) = 4.81,” P< .05). This indicates that perceived organizational
support influenced job involvement of workers.
The
third hypothesis which stated that, “there will be a joint statistical
significant influence of leadership style and perceived organizational support
on job involvement is also accepted
(FA x B (1, 72)
= 10 .01 P < . 05). This indicates that there is a joint influence of
leadership style and perceived organizational support on job involvement.
