Mediating Influence of Work Engagement between Person-Environment Fit and Adaptive Performance

Abstract


 Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework on the mediating influence of Work Engagement (WE) on the relationship between Person-Environment Fit (PE fit) and Adaptive Performance (AP) among nurses at the public hospitals in Malaysia. This paper is designed to focus on three PE fit dimensions, which are Person-Job Fit (PJ fit), Person-Group Fit (PG fit), and Person-Supervisor Fit (PS Fit) and its impact to employee’s adaptive performance by using Work Engagement as a mediator.
 Design/Methodology/Approach: This is a causal study that has used quantitative methodology to draw propositions about the phenomenon under study.
 Findings: The finding of the study is supported by two theories which are Theory of Performance (ToP) and Social Exchange Theory (SET). It is expected to produce significant relationship between PE Fit and AP by using a mediator of WE.
 Implications/Originality/Value: The contribution of the study delivers useful information and adds knowledge to the literature pointing to increase their employees’ performance in public sector. For a practical implication, deep focus should be given to the factors that can enhance employees’ performance especially in public sector to ensure the employees in their organization are fully fitted with their working environment, thus can deliver the best service to customers. Social implication from the study is the application of adaptive performance concept will promote a healthy and positive working environment that can contribute to positive and healthy life in social community and practice fast respond to reduce the patients’ complaints regarding staff performance in public hospitals.

Organizational Support and Adaptive Performance: The Revolving Structural Relationships between Job Crafting, Work Engagement, and Adaptive Performance

“…For example, they have identified complexity in task domain [11], situational demands (e.g., task, social, and organizational demands) [12], and organizational cultures and norms [13], as individual-or organizational-level moderators and mediators of adaptive performance. Recently, researchers have examined work engagement as a mediating variable between person-environment fit and adaptive performance [14]. However, the effects of job crafting and work engagement and their revolving structural relationships with adaptive performance have yet to be studied.…”

Analisa Second Order Person-Environment Fit Terhadap Perilaku Inovatif Dan Kinerja Individu Studi Pada Pdam Kendal

“…Beberapa peneliti juga membuktikan terdapat pengaruh signifikan person environment fit terhadap kinerja (A. Kristof et al, 2005;Shahidan et al, 2018). Berdasarkan uraian tersebut, maka hipotesis ketiga adalah : H2: Terdapat pengaruh person environment fit terhadap kinerja.…”

“…Karyawan cenderung lebih terlibat dengan pekerjaan ketika mereka merasakan kesesuaian dengan lingkungan kerja. (Shahidan et al, 2018) Berdasarkan parameter estimasi hipotesis ketiga, antara variabel P-E Fit dengan Innovative Work Behaviour menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan (CR = 2.491; p =0,013), dengan taraf signifikansi 5%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya peningkatan dalam P-E Fit memberikan pengaruh terhadap Innovative Work Behaviour.…”

Job Crafting Intervention Program: a Means for Promoting Interprofessional Learning and Performance Adaptability among Nurses

“…Adaptability is the ability to respond to changing circumstances, challenges, and strategies quickly and effectively. It's a person's capacity to handle unexpected situations and react appropriately in challenging circumstances without being bogged down by fear or stress (Shahidan et al, 2018). Adaptive performance has five dimensions: First, the implementation of novel methods and the utilization of data to solve issues are considered aspects of creativity; Second, the ability to think clearly, control one's emotions, and take appropriate action to reduce risk and emergency is known as "reactivity" in the face of emergencies or unanticipated circumstances.…”
