“…To date, there are limited studies on contextual performance have been carried out on government servants [26] despite strong recommendation by scholars on the need to study job behaviors among government servants [27] The roles of government servants as the backbone of the public sectors cannot be denied in which they are hoped to provide excellent service from time to time. It is believed that contextual performance as constructive behaviors since they are found to assist employees in completing their task performance for the sake of organizational effectiveness [28] The first dimension of contextual performance is job-task support.…”

Abstract-The study attempts to examine the psychometric properties of the job performance constructs by integrating the two subscales; task performance and contextual performance. Results from preliminary psychometric conclude that the nursing performance scale has good internal consistency and good criterion validity. A measure developed by Greenslade and Jimmieson was used as a reliable and valid tool in assessing nurses' job performance. The results of exploratory factor analysis confirmed that the measurement scale used in this study satisfactorily met the standards of validity and reliability analyses. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed five dimensions of task performance namely: technical care, non-job specific behavior, provision of information, provision of support and coordination of care. Meanwhile, three dimensions of Contextual Performance namely: job-task support, interpersonal support and organizational support; as the dimensions that measure Job Performance constructs.

“…The findings also agreed with Burchell, Mankelow, Day, Hudson, Ladipo, Reed, Noan, Wichert and Wilkinson (1999), as cited by Marwa & Muathe (2014, p. 47) that job design significantly influences employees' performance. Garg and Rastogi's, (2006) study on the influence of a new model of job design to motivate employees' performance showed that a well-designed job has the capacity to influence positively employee satisfaction and the quality of work performance. The findings support the theoretical framework discussed earlier that the hygiene factors have the tendency to improve performance.…”

A B S T R A C T Objective:The study investigated the impact of operational work system design on staff performance in selected construction firms in Nigeria. Research Design & Methods:The study used primary data gathered with the use of a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire format administered to 138 respondents. A hypothesis was postulated to test the significance of the research problem. Data analysis was carried out using correlation and multiple regression analysis which proved the significance of the alternative hypothesis as a result of testing the hypothesis. Findings: The findings show that there is a significant relationship between operational work system design and staff performance. The study concludes that operational job design can be advanced as a motivation tool, which is non-monetary in nature, to improve staff performance. Implications & Recommendations:A key drive to improve performance is the satisfaction of staff coupled with an outstanding operational job design which takes into consideration the total physical and mental well-being of staff and its interaction with other organisational factors. The study recommends, among others, that there should be active participation of staff in the design of work in the organisation. Contribution & Value Added:The study provides an empirical approach to enhancing performance in the construction industry and thereby developing an indigenous firm to compete favourably on a growing market.
