Job burnout is predominant in the hospitality industry with increased turnover rates estimated. It has been suggested to be related to several work-related factors including job involvement. Several studies have identified job burnout as a critical factor related to turnover intention among employees. Nevertheless, only a few studies have highlighted the impact of job burnout on job involvement within the hospitality context, among hotel employees. Empirical research is yet to link such a relation with hotel affiliations. This study was designed to explore potential impact of job burnout on job involvement of hotel employees in Egypt; and whether this association is independent of hotel affiliations. The study involved 300 hotel employees in Luxor, Egypt; who completed a survey on job burnout and job involvement. Both variables were measured using the MBI-GS and the JIQ measurement tool respectively. Results suggest that hotel affiliations have a strong influence on the association between job burnout and job involvement. The study demonstrates the key-role of job burnout in the lack of job involvement for hotel employees. The study provides evidence that there is a significant link between the job burnout-involvement relationship and hotel affiliations. Implications and limitations are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered
