Description
Summary:The prime purpose of this research was to investigate the factors that contribute to job performance (JP) of teachers in public sector schools of Punjab Pakistan. Through micro mapping Performance Appraisal Fairness (PAF) and Leader Member Exchange (LMX) were identified as the predictor of Job Performance (JP). Additionally, it has further investigated the mediating role of perception of organizational politics (POP) between PAF and JP and LMX and JP. The study further investigated the moderating role of workplace friendship (WPF) between POP and JP. Social Exchange Theory (SET) has been used as underpinned theory to build the logical relationships between distinct constructs of this research. The survey method used to collect data from 386 academicians from various public schools of Punjab with a response rate of 42.8%. SmartPLS software version 3.3.3 used to analyze the data. The rationale behind using the software is that most of research constructs (PAF, POP, JP) are reflective-formative and reflective-reflective (LMX and WPF) and SmartPLS software can analyze both constructs simultaneously. Findings of the study revealed that PAF is significantly positive related to JP. While, LMX and JP also found to be positively related. Moreover, POP mediate the relationship between LMX and JP. However, the mediation of POP between PAF and JP does not exist. The study found the strong moderation of WPF between POP and JP relationship i.e., the relationship between POP and JP is weak when the WPF is high. The study has also further elaborated the PLS predict value of JP as endogenous variable which shows that endogenous construct (JP) has strong predictive power. The study has signified the importance of JP of teachers for all stakeholders of education industry. Limitation and future recommendations also explained to pave the new ways for educational researchers and psychologists.
