Factors to improve job performance and school effectiveness

Abstract

PurposeIdentify some of the most relevant factors that trigger a private school's workforce to foster a sustainable competitive advantage by reinforcing the intrinsic job satisfaction and the levels of teacher self-efficacy, engagement and job performance.Design/methodology/approachSurveys were applied to private school teachers to assess their perception concerning the studied variables, data were tested at a confirmatory level using the partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM).FindingsTeachers with a high sense of self-efficacy and possessing elevated intrinsic satisfaction tend to be highly productive and results-oriented. Intrinsic job satisfaction is a key factor that influences more than extrinsic job satisfaction in the previously mentioned relationship.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the obtained results are constrained and apply to the Mexican context, we suggest that virtual limitation can be overcome by extending the study due to the proposed construct that can be applied in other regions or organizations.Practical implicationsPrincipals will need to develop mainly the intrinsic job satisfaction in the teaching staff, to improve the job and organizational performance. This should be accompanied, secondly, by factors that encourage extrinsic satisfaction such as fair pay or recognition.Originality/valueOpen up an alternative explanation, based on the evidence of this study, to the theory of social exchange, since the factor that most influences teacher’s citizenship behaviours is not extrinsic but intrinsic satisfaction. That is, it is not what the employee receives from the institution, but what the employee does or gives to the institution the source of satisfaction that will encourage greater job performance.

Do CSR activities increase organizational citizenship behavior among employees? Mediating role of affective commitment and job satisfaction

“…It has been suggested by Story and Castanheira (2019) that the socially responsible company has a substantial positive effect on worker satisfaction, thus producing positive work behavior and organizational outcomes. Furthermore, Soto‐Pérez, Sánchez‐García, and Núñez‐Ríos (2020) research concluded that teachers with a high sense of self‐efficacy and possessing high intrinsic satisfaction tend to be highly productive and results‐oriented. Intrinsic job satisfaction is a crucial factor that influences extrinsic job satisfaction.…”

Justice, Deontology and Moral Meaningfulness as Factors to Improve Student Performance and Academic Achievement

“…Furthermore, reinforcing previous research, evidence was found that student citizenship behaviour positively influences student in-role performance, with a weight of 0.42 and a p-value < 0.05, allowing confirmation of the H 8 hypotheses. Although the positive relationship in which OCB influences in-role performance has been previously studied and demonstrated in the field of employment (Leung, 2008;Podsakoff et al, 2009;Soto-Pérez et al, 2020), in this case, it has been analysed in the student context. Thus, students who actively participate in the mediation of class conflicts, support their classmates and know how to work in a team also have a higher student in-role performance.…”

“…On the other hand, student in-role performance refers to the efficiency with which a student fulfils a subject's curricular map (Abbas et al, 2019;Felfe et al, 2014). Citizenship behaviours are considered to contribute to achieving academic goals and increasing effectiveness in group learning (Leung, 2008), and at the same time having a positive impact on in-role performance (Soto-Pérez et al, 2020). Since student citizenship behaviours also have a positive impact on the community (Morphew & Hartley, 2006), educational institutions have emphasised such behaviours to enhance it, as they can improve the public image of the institution (Meriac, 2012), as well as training professionals who are responsible to society (Shao et al, 2019).…”
