Current Psychology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This study focuses on examining the mediating effect of job performance on the relationships between positive and negative affective states with job satisfaction of academics in Malaysian universities and colleges. Additionally, addressing organizational diversity, a gender comparison analysis was performed to extend the results. Data were collected from 2337 academics and Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) method was applied to analyze the data. The results revealed that the impacts of positive and negative affect on job satisfaction were meaningful. Also, empirical evidence was only found for the mediating role of job performance on the relationship between positive affect and job satisfaction. Lastly, the permutation-based multigroup analysis showed a significant difference between male and female academics with respect to the positive affect-job satisfaction linkage. Implications and future directions were elaborated.

Notes

  1. Given the existing evidence in the literature in terms of the effect of job satisfaction on job performance, we investigated this effect while we disconnected the controls from job satisfaction and connected them to job performance. The results indicated that the path coefficient was small in size and significant (b = 0.129, t = 3.89).

  2. The Q2 values (Geisser 1974; Stone 1974) of job performance and job satisfaction, as the combination of in-sample and out-of-sample predictive performance (Sarstedt, Ringle, & Hair, 2017), were 0.055 and 0.281, respectively.
