In this study, an attempt has been made to find out the relationship between job burnout, job anxiety and their various facets and job involvement among managers and clerical staff of banks. The sample consisted of 300 employees selected randomly from various branches of nationalized banks. A set of tools containing Job Involvement Scale, Job Anxiety Scale and Job Burnout Inventory was used to gather information. The data were analyzed by means of Person's coefficient correlation. The results revealed that (i) personal accomplishment, one of the facets of job burnouts was found significantly to be related to job involvement among the bank managers (ii) emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment were found significantly to be related to job involvement among clerical staff and, (iii) no significant relationship was found between job anxiety and its factors and job involvement among bank managers; whereas only self-esteem was found significantly to be related to job involvement among the clerical staff.
