Summary/Abstract: In the context of modern human resource management theories, the analysis of high employee work involvement and affective organizational commitment is essential for understanding the dynamics between employees and organizational performance. This paper analyzes the concepts of human resource management based on modern paradigms, such as high employee involvement and affective organizational commitment. The primary goal of the research is to examine the interaction between high work involvement and affective organizational commitment of employees. The key research question was posed in the context of the impact of high work involvement on the affective commitment of employees. The paper consists of a theoretical and an empirical segment. As part of the theoretical part, a systematic review of previous research on the topic of high work involvement and affective organizational commitment was carried out. Empirical research was conducted on a sample of 139 employees, including managers and professionals, within the IT sector in the Republic of Serbia. Data collection was carried out through an electronic questionnaire during May 2024. Data analysis was conducted using the PLS-SEM method within the Smart PLS software to test the postulated relationships. The research results indicated the existence of a direct positive influence of high work involvement on affective organizational commitment. Employees who are actively involved in decision-making and problem-solving processes showed significantly higher commitment and loyalty to the organization, which suggests that high involvement can be a key factor in improving organizational commitment.
