The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the affective or emotional mechanisms that underlie the relationship between high-performance HR practices (HPHRP) and employee attitudes and behaviours. Drawing on affective events theory, this paper examines a mediation model in which HPHRP influence positive affect which in turn affects job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviours (OCBs). Design/methodology/approach Two-wave data were collected from a sample of local government workers in Wales (n=362). HPHRP were measured together with job satisfaction and OCBs at Time 1 and six months later, job satisfaction and OCBs were measured again together with positive affect. Structural equation modeling was used to test the study hypotheses. Findings The results revealed that HPHRP induced positive affect which, in turn, led to increased job satisfaction and OCBs. Furthermore, positive affect fully mediated the relationships between HPHRP and both job satisfaction and OCBs. Research limitations/implications All data were collected from public sector employees in the Government of Wales, which makes the generalizability of the findings unknown. More work is needed using different samples to determine whether the study results are replicable. Practical implications Managers should endeavour to ensure that enough resources are assigned to the implementation of HPHRP and other work features that help evoke affective reactions, as these reactions are an important determinant of employees’ attitudes and behaviours. Originality/value This is one of the first studies to empirically examine the mediating role of positive affect on the relationship between HPHRP and employee attitudes and behaviours.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the role of perceived organizational support (POS) and intrinsic motivation in the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – The sample used in this study consists of 180 engineers from 25 companies. The model entails a cross-level moderated mediation process that was tested using multilevel structural equation modeling. Findings – This research shows that the effect of HPWS via POS on job satisfaction is stronger among engineers with low intrinsic motivation than engineers with high intrinsic motivation. Practical implications – Given the findings of this paper, organizations are advised to consider the importance of HPWS perceptions and intrinsic motivation to help strengthen engineer satisfaction. Originality/value – This is the first study to provide evidence for the mediating effect of POS in the relationship between employees’ shared perceptions of the HPWS implemented at their companies and their job satisfaction, and the moderating role of employee intrinsic motivation in the relationship between POS resulting from HPWS and job satisfaction.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between employee perspectives of high-performance work systems and employee outcomes, i.e. job satisfaction and affective commitment, and to propose ways of increasing the positive effects of high-performance work systems on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – The data were collected from 370 employees in the Chinese manufacturing industry during 2010. The Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) method was used to test each of the eight hypotheses deriving from the conceptual framework. Findings – The paper finds that: employee perspectives of high-performance work systems have a positive effect on both job satisfaction and affective commitment; and breadth of behavioural script and level of autonomy mediate the relationship between employee perspectives of high-performance work systems and their attitudes towards that organisation (job satisfaction and affective commitment); however, skill variety did not mediate the relationship between employee perspectives of high-performance work systems and employees’ attitudes in the data set used. Practical implications – The findings of the paper suggest that managers can improve employees’ attitudes by integrating effective high-performance work systems in their working environment. Even more interestingly, it appears that by encouraging broad behavioural scripts or allowing employees more freedom to apply their skills, managers can improve employees’ attitudes more significantly than by encouraging employees to acquire a variety of skills. Originality/value – Using signalling and psychological-contract theory, the paper shows the dominant influence of employees’ perceived high-performance work systems on employees’ attitudes via behavioural scripts and autonomy.

The role of resources is very vital, especially during a pandemic like this. Human resources are reliable and ready to answer challenges and ready to provide services. With a situation like this, it is possible for the organization to change its strategy to survive. For this reason, human resources are needed, who have high performance to realize the goals of the organization. The aim of our research is to find out the effect of internal branding on employee performance with employee engagement and job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The population in this study were all lecturers at AMIKOM University Yogyakarta. Sample collection was done randomly. The sample was collected using a google form, and the data collected were 119 respondents. Data analysis in this study used the PLS-SEM method. The results of this study prove that the internal branding variable has a positive effect on employee engagement. Internal branding also has a positive effect on job satisfaction. Employee engagement has a positive effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction has a positive effect on employee performance. As a mediator, employee engagement also has a positive effect on the pattern of internal branding relationships and employee performance. Likewise, job satisfaction also has a positive effect on the relationship between internal branding and employee performance.

This study examined the effects of high-performance work practices on turnover intention through the mediating role of employee morale. The study also examined the extent to which psychological capital could moderate the relationship between employee morale and turnover intention. With the aid of questionnaire administration, the study collected 469 valid responses from frontline employees in the hospitality sector of Ghana. Findings from the hierarchical regression analysis showed that training and empowerment had a significant influence on turnover intention. Training and reward also had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction. Empowerment, on the other hand, had a significant positive influence on affective organizational commitment. Both affective organizational commitment and job satisfaction significantly influenced turnover intention. Optimism and resilience moderated the relationship between affective organizational commitment and turnover intention. Also, self-efficacy moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. The study offers some implications and suggestions for future studies in the main text.

Positive Effect

This study aims to determine the role of job satisfaction in mediating the relationship between organizational learning culture and employee performance. The subjects studied were the employees at PT XYZ which is an import agent company as well as a complete supplier of factory doors and warehouse needs in Indonesia. The number of samples taken in this study were 85 employees and 15 supervisors who were obtained by distributing questionnaires through google form with Non-probability sampling technique. The collected data is processed using SmartPLS. The results of data processing indicate that organizational learning culture has a positive effect on job satisfaction, job satisfaction has a positive effect on employee performance. However, the function of job satisfaction as a mediating variable in this study was not achieved because the correlation value with mediation is smaller than the value of organizational learning culture which can directly have a positive effect on employee performance. So the employee performance in this study is a partial mediation. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Peranan Kepuasan Kerja sebagai Mediasi Hubungan antara Budaya Belajar Organisasi dan Kinerja Karyawan. Subjek yang diteliti adalah karyawan pada PT XYZ yang merupakan perusahaan agen import serta penyedia pintu pabrik dan kebutuhan gudang secara lengkap di Indonesia. Jumlah sampel yang diambil pada penelitian ini adalah karyawan dengan jumlah 85 orang dan supervisor 15 orang yang diperoleh dengan menyebar kuesioner melalui google form dengan teknik pengambilan sampel jenuh/sensus. Data yang telah dikumpulkan diolah menggunakan SmartPLS. Hasil dari pengolahan data menunjukkan bahwa budaya belajar organisasi berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan kerja, kepuasan kerja berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja karyawan. Namun, fungsi kepuasan kerja sebagai variabel mediasi pada penelitian ini tidak tercapai karena nilai kolerasi dengan adanya mediasi lebih kecil daripada nilai budaya belajar organisasi yang secara langsung dapat berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja karyawan. Maka kinerja karyawan disini merupakan mediasi parsial.

The Relationship

Abstract. Why do some people work best under pressure? In two studies, we examined whether and how people use anxiety to motivate themselves. As predicted, clarity of feelings moderated the relationship between trait anxiety and the tendency to use this emotion as a source of motivation (i.e., anxiety motivation). Furthermore, anxiety motivation mediated the relationship between trait anxiety and outcomes – including academic achievement (Study 1) as well as persistence and job satisfaction (Study 2). These findings suggest that individuals who are clear about their feelings are more likely to thrive on anxiety and eustress and possibly use these to achieve their goals and find satisfaction at work.

Abstract. Person–job (or needs–supplies) discrepancy/fit theories posit that job satisfaction depends on work supplying what employees want and thus expect associations between having supervisory power and job satisfaction to be more positive in individuals who value power and in societies that endorse power values and power distance (e.g., respecting/obeying superiors). Using multilevel modeling on 30,683 European Social Survey respondents from 31 countries revealed that overseeing supervisees was positively associated with job satisfaction, and as hypothesized, this association was stronger among individuals with stronger power values and in nations with greater levels of power values or power distance. The results suggest that workplace power can have a meaningful impact on job satisfaction, especially over time in individuals or societies that esteem power.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.
