Abstract

This study aims to assess the influence of psychological antecedents of engagement on the performance of public sectored organizations in a developing nation within the context of human resources management and public sector management. The study proposed a conceptual model comprising 7 hypotheses tested with employment of the structural equation modelling-partial least squares. Data was gathered using structured questionnaire from 303 public employees from 10 public sectored organizations in Nigeria. The results revealed that of the three main psychological antecedents of engagement, psychological meaningfulness antecedents of engagement and psychological safety antecedents of engagement directly influenced employee engagement. However, no effect was found for psychological availability antecedents of engagement. The finding also showed that employee engagement mediates the relationship between psychological antecedents of engagement and organizational performance. The most significant effect was established in the relationship between psychological meaningfulness antecedents of engagement and employee engagement. The limitation of this study relates to its generalizability because it focuses on only the public sector organization. Additionally, it is cross-sectional research, and the lack of time which a longitudinal study will have could make the findings broader than it is.

敬业心理前因对组织绩效的影响:员工敬业的中介作用

本研究旨在评估在人力资源管理和公共部门管理的背景下，参与的心理前因对发展中国家公共部门组织绩效的影响。本研究提出了一个包含7个假设的概念模型，并采用结构方程模型偏最小二乘法进行检验。使用结构化问卷从尼日利亚10个公共部门组织的303名公职人员中收集数据。结果表明，在敬业度的三个主要心理前因中，敬业度的心理意义前因和敬业度的心理安全前因直接影响员工敬业度。然而，没有发现参与的心理可用性前因的影响。研究结果还表明，员工敬业度在敬业度的心理前因与组织绩效之间起中介作用。敬业度的心理意义前因与员工敬业度之间的关系影响最为显著。本研究的局限性在于其概括性，因为它只关注公共部门组织。此外，这是一项横断面研究，缺乏纵向研究的时间可能会使研究结果更加广泛。
