dc.description.abstract |
The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between two positive
psychology constructs (namely sense of coherence and self-efficacy) and job
performance in a group of 99 recruitment consultants. The study was conducted
in the context of the recruitment industry, which is characterised by high levels of
competition and stress as a result of sociopolitical and economic factors. No
relationships were found overall between sense of coherence, self-efficacy and
job performance. However, the comprehensibility component of sense of
coherence correlated statistically significantly with overall job performance and
two of its dimensions, namely customer service and productivity. Stepwise
regression analyses indicated that comprehensibility contributed significantly to
variance in total job performance scores, and the addition of meaningfulness to
the model further increased variance in total job performance. |
