The study aims to measure job-involvement among health care providers in Hebron and Bethlehem Governorates. The study adopted the descriptive approach and the questionnaire, which is appropriate to the exploratory nature of the research. The sample composed of three hundred sixty-eighty participants stratifiedly selected. Job-involvement among health care providers was evaluated using an index of a 25-item scale. A 5-point Likert scale (Always to Never) was used to assess the job-involvement among the sampled population. Findings showed that health care providers experienced a moderate level of job-involvement (M 3.31, SD 0.44). More than half of the participants (66.2%) scored a moderate level of job-involvement. The study explored the demographic breakdown over job-involvement among health care providers with the aim of identifying any differences. Findings showed that qualification and profession do not show any significant differences. However, it was found that gender, authority, age, and professional experience were significant variables. The study suggested that management might be able to increase the level of job-involvement with increasing the inter-actions with health care providers through staff meetings.
