Abstract

The current study attempted to inspect the influence of workplace ergonomics (WE) and job satisfaction (JS) on job performance (JP). Besides, the study considered job satisfaction as a mediator to elaborate on the influence of workplace ergonomics on job performance. Data were gathered from 364 academics working in Higher Education Institutions of Uttarakhand state, India by using a survey questionnaire. Subsequently, the data were analysed by using the structural equation modelling technique. The study findings showed that WE and JS positively influenced JP. In addition, the results revealed a significant positive relationship between WE and JP. The results supported the mediator task of JS between the influences of WE on JP. The study was theoretically grounded on The Balance theory. The study added to the literature by providing evidence on how WE can serve as a booster to influence JP of academics. Even in the presence of a mediating variable (JS), the direct effect was significant which means that the mediating effect is partial in nature. We discuss the theoretical contributions of this research and its practical implications for organisations.
