dc.description.abstract | The aim of the current study is to gain more understanding about factors related to the work
identity of the individual within the Maltese cultural context. For this purpose, the role that
Organisational Identification (OI) plays in relation to Work Performance, with the possible
interaction of Work Engagement, and the Relatedness need satisfaction, within the Maltese
workforce is being investigated. The Motivational Process of the revised JD-R Model, and the
Self-Determination Theory are used as theoretical framework. Mediation analysis is used to
analyse the data of a sample of 198 participants from the Maltese working population. The
results show a positive relationship between OI and work performance through the full
mediation effect of work engagement. The satisfaction of the need for relatedness positively
predicts OI, work performance, and work engagement respectively. Furthermore, the results
show a partial mediating effect of organisational identification on the relationships between
relatedness need satisfaction and work performance, and relatedness needs satisfaction and
work engagement. These findings indicate that within the Maltese workforce, employees are
driven to perform both through the fit between the values and goals of the organisation, and
their personal values and aspirations, as well as a workplace that makes them feel as part of a
community, in which they are able to build meaningful social connections with their fellow
employees, and their employers. | |
