Recent studies have examined the association between personality and job performance; however, this relationship remains to be elucidated within the context of COVID-19 fear and intention to quit. Therefore, we aimed to develop a structural equation model (SEM) by exploring the effects of personality on job performance through COVID-19 fear and intention to quit. Accordingly, 447 employees participated in the study and completed the Job Performance Scale, the Scale of Intention to Quit, the COVID-19 Fear scale, and the Big Five Inventory. It was revealed that extroversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism predicted job performance via COVID-19 fear, as well as intention to quit.

<p><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em>It is generally believed that there is a positive relationship among the following three variables, which are cohesiveness, job satisfaction, and job performance. Good job performance of a group of workers needs good coorperation among the group members. Good cooperation can be viewed as the outcome of group cohesiveness. In addition, good job performance needs good job satisfaction. Furthermore, it is also commonly believed that group cohesiveness is positively related with job satisfaction. The objective of this study is to empirically test the phenomenon by conducting a survey on 102 respondents who are administrative staff in Bogor Agricultural University. A quantitative model namely Structural Equation Model (SEM) was utilized. It is concluded that cohesiveness positively effects job satisfaction as well as well as job performance. However, it is found that there is no statistically significant effect of job satisfaction on job performance.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Umumnya dipercayai bahwa ada hubungan positif antara tiga variabel berikut, yakni kohesivitas kelompok, kepuasan kerja, dan kinerja. Kinerja kelompok membutuhkan kerja sama di antara para anggota kelompok. Kerja sama yang baik dapat dipandang sebagai buah dari kohesivitas. Tambahan pula, kinerja yang baik membutuhkan kepuasan kerja yang baik pula. Lebih lanjut, lazimnya dipercayai bahwa kohesivitas berhubungan dengan kepuasan kerja. Studi ini secara empiris menguji fenomena tersebut dengan menggunakan survei terhadap 102 responden yang adalah tenaga kependidikan di Institut Pertanian Bogor. Model kuantitatif menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM). Ditunjukkan bahwa kohesivitas berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan kerja maupun terhadap kinerja. Namun ditemukan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan dari kepuasan kerja pada kinerja.</p>

Data analysis and hypothesis testing methods are used using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with the help of Lisrel 8.80. Normality test is carried out before using Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis. The results of this study indicate that directly or indirectly the need for achievement has a positive and significant effect on job performance through budget participation.

A sample of 246 nurses participated in this cross-sectional study. Proactive personality was assessed with the Proactive Personality Questionnaire (PPS), job performance was assessed by Heilman three-item measurements, nurse competence was estimated with Nurse Competency Scale (NCS), and work engagement was assessed with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The structural equation model was used to test the main hypotheses.Results: Structural equation model analysis revealed that work engagement partially mediated the association between proactive personality and job performance. The serial two-mediator model which was used to explore the association between proactive personality and job performance through competency and work engagement, in sequence, was demonstrated.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that work engagement partially mediated the association between nurses’ proactive personality and their job performance.
