Abstract
The impact of job demands on job performance is not always straightforward but relies on whether employees are burned out or engaged. Although such relationships were established previously based on job demands–resources (JD-R) theory in Western developed countries, evidence from Eastern developing countries is very limited. During the peak of COVID-19, this study was conducted to examine the impact of job demands on nurses’ job performance via the mediating role of work burnout and work engagement. By employing the tenets of the JD-R theory, the theory was tested through collecting data from 202 nurses who were working in Palestine. The SPSS statistical software (version 25) and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) were used to analyse the collected data. The findings disclosed that work burnout was negatively related to job performance, and work engagement was positively related to job performance. Unexpectedly, job demand had a negative relationship with work burnout and a positive relationship with work engagement. However, work burnout and work engagement mediated the relationship between job demand and job performance. A discussion of the findings, contributions, implications, limitations and future directions is provided.
期刊介绍:
