Job involvement is generally viewed as managing discretionary effort, when employees have choices, they will act in a way that furthers their organization's interests. An engaged employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her work. Embalmers, as fit participants in studying job involvement because of their unusual job, could be exposed to possible predictors such as length of service, social support, and situational factors. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between length of service, social support, and situational factors of licensed embalmers in Cavite.

Specifically, it aimed to determine if length of service along with social support and situational factors can predict job involvement of licensed embalmers. In this study, descriptive method of research was utilized and survey questionnaires were used to gather data from 35 licensed embalmers in Cavite. Frequency distribution, means, standard deviation, Spearman rank correlation for descriptive-correlation and Multiple Regression were used to obtain the prediction.

Results showed that among the three independent variables (length of service, social support and situational factors), only the situational factors showed significant relationship to job involvement. When social support and situational factors were correlated, belonging support and amotivation showed a significant relationship.
