This study focused on the effects of job mismatch and employment status on the job involvement level of De La Salle University Psychology graduates. The quantitative and qualitative research designs were used to analyze the data gathered from the graduate batch of school year 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008. The survey questionnaire and the revised Kanungo's (1982) Job Involvement Questionnaire were altogether distributed to a population of three hundred fourteen (314) respondents, out of which only seventy five (75) who completed the survey were considered as the actual participants of the study. The interview guide was administered to twenty one (21) respondents, selected from the seventy five (75) participants. Results show that (a) those who are into jobs that are related to their undergraduate degree are more involved in their job than those who are not (b) those who are permanently employed are more involved in their job than those who are temporarily employed (c) there are several other factors that affect one's level of job involvement which characterizes the basic human needs.
