Abstract

Academic staffs are the main asset to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) since education is the institution's core business. The ability of academic staff to meet the goals set by the HEIs is of utmost importance. They must possess strong competencies and excellent personality to improve their performance and achieve the desired target. Although the effect of organizational and individual factors has been verified in previous studies, it remains unclear what underlying mechanisms explain the relationship. This study examined the role of personality as a mediator in the relationship between leader-member exchange (LMX) and job performance. This research used a quantitative method with a total sample of 260 academic staff in private HEIs, which were analyzed using the SEM Amos software. The findings showed that LMX and job performance (β= -0.26) and LMX and personality (β= 0.42) were significantly related, and academic staff personality was found to have the most substantial effect on job performance (β= 1.07). The result also indicated that personality partially mediates the relationship between LMX and job performance. The study's findings propose that the management of HEIs can improve the organizational factors through the proper implementation of LMX, which will nurture individual factors' effectiveness and improve academic staff job performance.

人格在领导者-成员交流与工作绩效之间的关系中的中介作用

教学人员是高等教育机构的主要资产，因为教育是该机构的核心业务。教学人员能否实现高等院校设定的目标至关重要。他们必须具备较强的能力和优秀的人格，才能提高绩效，实现预期目标。虽然组织和个人因素的影响已在以往的研究中得到验证，但仍不清楚是什么内在机制解释了这种关系。本研究探讨了人格在领导者-成员交换（LMX）与工作绩效之间关系中的中介作用。本研究采用定量研究方法，共选取了 260 名私立高等院校的教职员工作为样本，并使用 SEM Amos 软件进行了分析。研究结果表明，LMX 与工作绩效（β= -0.26）、LMX 与人格（β= 0.42）显著相关，而学术人员人格对工作绩效的影响最大（β= 1.07）。研究结果还表明，人格对 LMX 与工作绩效之间的关系起到了部分中介作用。研究结果提出，高等院校管理层可以通过适当实施 LMX 来改善组织因素，从而培养个人因素的有效性，提高学术人员的工作绩效。
