This study examines the structural relationships among learning‐organization culture, self‐efficacy, work engagement, and job performance in Korean workforce institutions. The authors also investigated the mediating roles of teachers’ self‐efficacy and work engagement on the relationship between the learning‐organization culture and teachers’ job performance. Working with a total of 481 valid surveys from workforce‐education teachers at 21 Korean workforce‐education schools, structural equation modeling (SEM) and the Sobel test were primarily implemented to examine the hypothesized model and research hypotheses. The results showed the positive impacts of learning‐organization culture in Korean workforce institutions on teachers’ self‐efficacy and work engagement. Teachers’ self‐efficacy positively affected their work engagement and job performance, and the relationship between work engagement and job performance was statistically significant. Also identified were the mediating roles of self‐efficacy and work engagement on the relationships between the learning‐organization culture of workforce‐education schools and the teachers’ job performance.
The Problem As most employees have been forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is considerable concern about how to preserve employee health and well-being by supporting their work in this unpredictable situation. In this sense, research highlighting how to support remote e-workers in the COVID-19 pandemic era is urgently needed to inform scholars and practitioners about effective strategies and interventions to support remote e-workers. The Solution By reviewing conceptual and empirical studies, we discuss the challenges of remote e-workers from the perspective of psychological well-being. We also summarize the factors that support psychological well-being. Based on the findings, we suggest how human resource development (HRD) professionals can support remote e-workers’ psychological well-being and career development in the COVID-19 pandemic era. The Stakeholders This article has relevance for scholars, scholar-practitioners, and practitioners who are interested in seeking ways to support remote e-workers from an HRD perspective across countries, disciplines, and contexts in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
