The deep social, economic and technological transformations that characterize the current organizational landscape require a renewal of the policies and practices of human resources, a new style where humanization and job enrichment acquire a real strategic meaning in achieving sustainable development results through people. Several studies have shown that the generation of positive attitudes in employees –such as satisfaction, job involvement or others– has a positive effect on productivity levels because such attitudes are the result of the integration of the individual with their working environment more immediate. This research focuses on one of these attitudes the emotional involvement identifying the profile of the employees involved emotionally with their work from a set of sociodemográfios, labor, organizational and attitudinal factors. To this end the theoretical framework is defined and subsequently an multidimensional empirical study applying lineal and non lineal regression models to a sample of 6,057 employees obtained from the IV European Survey on Working Conditions. The results reveal the main variables on which human resources managers should act if they seek to increase the level of emotional involvement of their employees.
