Sumario:Purpose: Using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model as a general framework, this paper has twoobjectives: the first, to analyse the relationship between job involvement and valuation of job resources;the second, to analyse the mediating effect of satisfaction with job resources on the relationship betweenjob involvement and employees’ valuation of job resources.Design/methodology: The survey was used as a research methodology.The participants correspond toa sample of 225 employees in Spain. The research model was tested using structural equation modelling,namely the partial least squares (PLS-SEM) technique, and SmartPLS.Findings: The hypotheses are positively contrasted. Job involvement is positively related to valuation ofjob resources, and satisfaction with job resources mediates the relationship between job involvement andvaluation of job resources. The results of this work indicate that the most involved employees givegreater importance to job resources.Originality/value: This paper evidences the relationship between job involvement and the importancethat employees attribute to job resources. Therefore, this research advances the job demands-resourcesmodel, as it suggests that employees’ high involvement in their job leads to greater involvement ofresources, which is related to employees’ psychological contract
