摘要:Considering the current COVID-19 crisis, organizations need to hire the right person for the right job, as they can perform effectively and contribute to achieve business goals. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of employees’ internal factors, for example, (overqualification, life satisfaction, person-job fit, gender discrimination), and organizational commitment, on employees’ task and contextual performance in government organizations of Kuwait. This study developed a conceptual framework based on the person-job fit theory to investigate the hypothetical relationship between constructs. A cross-sectional research approach was applied to collect data from 275 respondents working in different government organizations in Kuwait. Thus, we developed a questionnaire based on a seven-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree) to collect data. Data were analyzed through the “structural equation modeling” technique via Smart PLS software. The findings indicated a strong positive relationship between gender discriminations, life satisfaction, person-job fit, organizational commitment, task performance, and contextual performance. Thereby, we found overqualification negatively impacts organizational commitment. Therefore, organizational commitment mediates the relationship between person-job fit, life satisfaction, gender discrimination, task performance, and contextual performance. On the other hand, organizational commitment did not mediate the relationship between overqualification, task performance, and contextual performance. Hence, the findings of this study confirmed that the employees’ job performance significantly based on life satisfaction, person-job fit, and gender discrimination through organizational commitment in government organizations of Kuwait.
