Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee job performance trajectories, and further examines the moderating effects of different sources of status. Drawing from event system theory (EST), we propose that employee job performance decreases upon COVID-19 onset, but gradually increases during the postonset period. Furthermore, we argue that status from society, occupation, and workplace functions to moderate such performance trajectories. We test our hypotheses with a unique dataset of 708 employees that combines survey responses and job performance archival data over 21 consecutive months (10,808 observations) spanning the preonset, onset, and postonset periods of the initial encounter with COVID-19 in China. Utilizing discontinuous growth modeling (DGM), our findings indicate that the onset of COVID-19 created an immediate decrease in job performance, but such decrease was weakened by higher occupation and/or workplace status. However, the postonset period resulted in a positive employee job performance trajectory, which was strengthened for employees with lower occupational status. These findings enrich our understanding of COVID-19's impact on employee job performance trajectories, highlight the role of status in moderating such changes over time, and also provide practical implications to understand employee performance when facing such a crisis.

COVID-19与员工工作绩效轨迹:不同地位来源的调节作用
本研究探讨了新冠疫情对员工工作绩效轨迹的影响,并进一步考察了不同身份来源的调节作用。根据事件系统理论(EST),我们提出员工的工作绩效在COVID-19发病时下降,但在发病后逐渐上升。此外,我们认为来自社会、职业和工作场所的地位会调节这种绩效轨迹。我们使用708名员工的独特数据集来验证我们的假设,该数据集结合了连续21个月(10,808次观察)的调查反馈和工作绩效档案数据,涵盖了中国首次接触COVID-19的发病前、发病期和发病后。利用不连续增长模型(DGM),我们的研究结果表明,COVID-19的发作导致工作绩效立即下降,但这种下降被更高的职业和/或工作场所地位所削弱。而职后期对员工的工作绩效轨迹有正向影响,且在职业地位较低的员工中得到强化。这些发现丰富了我们对COVID-19对员工工作绩效轨迹的影响的理解,强调了地位在减缓这种变化方面的作用,并为理解员工在面临此类危机时的绩效提供了实际意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
