Abstract

PurposeThe main objective of this study is to scrutinize the relationship between workers' well-being and job performance across sectors during the first lockdown. The authors also aim to examine the indirect effects of satisfaction with work-life balance, reopening of schools after closure, workload and teleworking on performance through well-being.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a sample of 447 Canadian workers collected online during the first lockdown to perform a series of structural equation models.FindingsThe results show that workers' well-being increases job performance and satisfaction with work-life balance has a positive indirect effect on job performance through well-being in all sectors. This finding suggests that workers' well-being mediates the relationship between satisfaction with work-life balance and performance. However, the reopening of schools, increased workload and teleworking do not have universal effects across sectors.Practical implicationsAll organizations should implement human resources (HR) practices that promote workers' well-being and family-friendly workplaces, especially during the pandemic. Conversely, teleworking has a sector-specific effect that must be considered when implemented.Originality/valueThis study stands out by strengthening the bridge between workers' well-being and job performance. The effects of well-being and satisfaction with work-life balance on job performance are universal, while the impact of reopening of schools, increased workload and teleworking are sector-specific.
新冠肺炎背景下工人的幸福感和工作表现:一种特定部门的方法
本研究的主要目的是仔细研究第一次封锁期间跨部门工人幸福感与工作绩效之间的关系。作者还旨在研究工作与生活平衡、学校关闭后重新开放、工作量和远程工作对绩效的间接影响。设计/方法/方法作者使用了第一次封锁期间在线收集的447名加拿大工人的样本来执行一系列结构方程模型。研究结果表明,员工的幸福感提高了工作绩效,工作与生活平衡的满意度通过幸福感对工作绩效产生了积极的间接影响。这一发现表明,员工的幸福感调节了工作与生活平衡满意度与绩效之间的关系。然而,学校重新开学、工作量增加和远程办公并没有对各个部门产生普遍影响。实际影响所有组织都应实施人力资源实践,促进工人福祉和家庭友好型工作场所,特别是在大流行期间。相反,远程办公具有特定部门的影响,在实施时必须加以考虑。独创性/价值这项研究通过加强员工幸福感和工作绩效之间的桥梁而脱颖而出。幸福感和对工作与生活平衡的满意度对工作绩效的影响是普遍的,而学校重新开放、工作量增加和远程工作的影响则是特定部门的。
