Research on the job involvement‐organizational tenure relationship has shown no consistent relationship, but recent job and career experience models suggest that a relationship should be found. Using data from three organizations ( n = 216), polynomial regression analysis revealed a curvilinear job involvement‐organizational tenure relationship. This finding is discussed with reference to changes in workplace sensemaking that occur as work experience is accumulated.
