Assessing The Mediating Effects Of Job Satisfaction On Employee Performance In Work Place Environment, Social Support, And Cultural Diversity Contexts: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how work environment elements affect employee performance while taking job satisfaction into account as a mediating factor. A sample of 471 respondents was selected using a random sampling method. This study is descriptive and uses a quantitative research design to collect data appropriately for analyzing the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The data analysis included factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and structural equation modeling (SEM). To test the hypothesis, the current study employed self-report questionnaires from a sample of Indian industrial workers. Social support and the workplace environment had a favourable impact on job-related behaviors (e.g., job satisfaction, employee performance), according to the results of structural equation modeling (SEM) utilizing the AMOS and IBM SPSS 20 program. Measurement and structural models served as the foundation for the SEM. The primary conclusions of this study showed that, aside from cultural diversity, which has little bearing on employees' overall effectiveness, social support and the workplace environment are crucial. The findings showed that social support and a positive work atmosphere could boost employee performance. It suggested that in order to lower workplace stress and enhance job-related behaviors, businesses must have a positive work environment that promotes psychological well-being and have appropriate policies to increase social support between managers and staff.
