Abstract
This study aimed to identify factors influencing job performance among higher education employees. Based on a framework developed from the Job Characteristics Model (Hackman and Oldham 1980) and its modifications, the model included 11 work characteristics as independent variables, critical psychological states as mediators, and psychological safety as a moderator. Data were collected from 378 higher education employees in Poland. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that psychological safety often strengthened the indirect effects of critical psychological states—particularly sense of responsibility and knowledge of results—on job performance, especially when psychological safety was moderate or high. This study introduces a comprehensive approach to evaluating job performance, offering preliminary insights into the mechanisms that determine proficiency within higher education.
本研究旨在探讨高等教育员工工作绩效的影响因素。该模型以工作特征模型（Hackman and Oldham, 1980）及其修正的框架为基础，将11个工作特征作为自变量，临界心理状态作为中介，心理安全作为调节因子。数据收集自波兰378名高等教育雇员。有调节的中介分析表明，心理安全往往会增强关键心理状态（尤其是责任感和结果意识）对工作绩效的间接影响，尤其是在心理安全处于中等或高水平时。本研究介绍了一种评估工作绩效的综合方法，为高等教育中决定熟练程度的机制提供了初步的见解。
期刊介绍：
Higher Education Quarterly publishes articles concerned with policy, strategic management and ideas in higher education. A substantial part of its contents is concerned with reporting research findings in ways that bring out their relevance to senior managers and policy makers at institutional and national levels, and to academics who are not necessarily specialists in the academic study of higher education. Higher Education Quarterly also publishes papers that are not based on empirical research but give thoughtful academic analyses of significant policy, management or academic issues.
