“…Work design issues have received major attention from researchers (Garg and Rastogi, 2006) to understand what motivate employees and caused by job dissatisfaction (Bakker and Demerouti, 2014).

Study in work design and work performance concepts is incredibly limited in library fields. The instrument of both concepts is almost nonexistence. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a set of instrument to measure both concepts. The questionnaire was developed based on, task performance, contextual performance, task character and knowledge characteristic. The items in the questionnaire were developed based on the proposed conceptual framework of the previous study. To report content validity for the instrument, the researcher conducted several pretesting sessions to review the instrument. The feedbacks from experts during pretesting were analysed. 326 respondents were involved during the pilot test session of the instrument. The data were analysed using SmartPLS to identify the convergent validity (AVE), Cronbach's alpha, and factor loading for each dimension. The reliability of the proposed instrument was identified, the results of Cronbach's alpha for each dimension are strong to represent the study.

The study investigates the relationships between job design's task characteristics and knowledge creation process (SECI). The implication of job design in improving work productivity and performance has been extensively reported in various studies. However, only slight attention was given concerning the relationship between job design characteristics and knowledge creation process. Using the survey research methodology involving the Administrative and Diplomatic Officers working in several Malaysian federal ministries, the study found that the six independent variables of task characteristics have significant relationships with SECI. The findings suggest the importance of well-designed task characteristics in supporting the creation of knowledge within the federal ministries. The present study should capture the interest of both researchers and practitioners as it has developed an empirical-based framework linking task characteristics and SECI.
