    Job Performance in the Learning Organization: The Mediating Impacts of Self‐Efficacy and Work Engagement
    (Wiley, 2018) Song, Ji Hoon; Chai, Dae Seok; Kim, Junhee; Bae, Sang Hoon; Engineering Technology, School of Engineering and Technology
    This study examines the structural relationships among learning‐organization culture, self‐efficacy, work engagement, and job performance in Korean workforce institutions. The authors also investigated the mediating roles of teachers’ self‐efficacy and work engagement on the relationship between the learning‐organization culture and teachers’ job performance. Working with a total of 481 valid surveys from workforce‐education teachers at 21 Korean workforce‐education schools, structural equation modeling (SEM) and the Sobel test were primarily implemented to examine the hypothesized model and research hypotheses. The results showed the positive impacts of learning‐organization culture in Korean workforce institutions on teachers’ self‐efficacy and work engagement. Teachers’ self‐efficacy positively affected their work engagement and job performance, and the relationship between work engagement and job performance was statistically significant. Also identified were the mediating roles of self‐efficacy and work engagement on the relationships between the learning‐organization culture of workforce‐education schools and the teachers’ job performance.

    Relating Planner Task Performance for Container Terminal Operations to Multi-Tasking Skills and Personality Type
    (Elsevier, 2017-11) Kurapati, Shalini; Lukosch, Heide; Eckerd, Stephanie; Verbraeck, Alexander; Corsi, Thomas; Kelley School of Business - Indianapolis
    Planning the operations within a container terminal is a complex task. It requires planners to demonstrate adaptive behavior while handling stressful, complex, and unexpected situations in today’s dynamic and technology dependent workplace. This paper aims at investigating the role of multi-tasking ability, moderated by an individual’s personality type, in predicting planner task performance using simulation gaming methods. Hierarchical regression analysis results demonstrate that the direct effect of multi-tasking ability on performance is positive and significant. With one exception, the personality traits do not significantly intensify or lessen the impact of multi-tasking in predicting task performance. The personality trait, openness to experience, significantly lessens the impact of multi-tasking ability on performance. Our results suggest that container terminal operators may benefit by considering the above-mentioned results while allocating planning tasks to their employees and new recruits. The instruments used in this research could also be used for evaluating and training candidate planners.
