Role of job autonomy and employee-centric technology on employee performance

Abstract

This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the role of job autonomy and employee-centric technology in shaping employee performance within organisational contexts. The study used a simple random sampling procedure to select 776 participants for the study. SmartPLS v4 software was used in this study to apply the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a statistical technique to analyse the respondents’ data. The finding indicates that job autonomy has a significant and positive impact on increased productivity, enhanced job satisfaction and simultaneous innovation behaviour. More so, employee-centric technology has a significant and positive impact on increased productivity, enhanced job satisfaction and simultaneous innovation behaviour. Further, the finding shows that the interaction between job autonomy and employee-centric technology has a significant and positive impact on increased productivity and enhanced job satisfaction. However, the interaction has no significant and positive impact on simultaneous innovation behaviour. These findings generate valuable knowledge that informs organizational practices, improves employee well-being, and drives innovation in the workplace. Detailed policy and practice implications were discussed.
