Abstract

PurposeJob performance (JP) of employees is a key indicator of success for any organization; however, job performance is dependent on many factors including personal and organizational. The current study aims to investigate this phenomenon concerning the quality of work-life (QoWL).Design/methodology/approachThe study design was quantitative, and a questionnaire was filled by 130 professional librarians based on a convenient sampling technique. The research population was academic information professionals (IPs) serving the university libraries of Lahore, Pakistan. Data were analyzed using SPSS (20.0).FindingsJob career satisfaction is proved a key indicator of JP along with job control and general well-being (GWB). Counterproductive work behavior (CWB), which is a negative behavior, is significantly affected by poor job satisfaction (JS), stress, feelings of unhappiness and low workplace autonomy.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that if poor JS, stress, feelings of unhappiness and low workplace autonomy could be manipulated positively, CWB may be reduced and there are chances to improve the JP of IPs.Originality/valueThis is one of the first attempts that focuses on QoWL and its impact on JP of IPs. The study findings may help leaders and library administration to take employees' friendly decisions to provide a conducive work environment.

信息专业人员的工作生活质量及其对工作绩效的影响

目的员工的工作表现是任何组织成功的关键指标；然而，工作绩效取决于许多因素，包括个人因素和组织因素。本研究旨在调查这一与工作生活质量（QoWL）有关的现象。设计/方法/方法研究设计是定量的，由130名专业图书馆员根据方便的抽样技术填写问卷。研究对象是为巴基斯坦拉合尔大学图书馆服务的学术信息专业人员。使用SPSS（20.0）对数据进行分析。发现工作职业满意度与工作控制和总体幸福感（GWB）一起被证明是JP的关键指标。反生产性工作行为（CWB）是一种消极行为，受工作满意度差、压力、不愉快感和工作自主性低的显著影响。实际含义研究表明，如果能够积极处理较差的JS、压力、不愉快感和工作场所自主权低下，CWB可能会减少，并且有机会提高IP的JP。Originality/value这是第一次关注生活质量及其对IP的JP的影响的尝试之一。研究结果可能有助于领导和图书馆管理部门做出员工友好的决定，以提供有利的工作环境。
