The moderating effect of generational characteristics on the relationship between psychological capital and job performance: the development of conceptual framework

“…Investigations conducted in Malaysia have undertaken an examination of various factors that are linked to employee performance. The variables encompass telecommuting (Ishak et al, 2022), duration of employment (Ahmad et al, 2021), the execution of efficient human resource management (HRM) strategies (Lim & Ahmad, 2021), organisational atmosphere (Abdullahi et al, 2021), in addition to time constraints and skill autonomy (Zainuddin et al, 2021). Therefore, considering the progress of organisations, the comprehension, and management of employee job performance remain crucial foundations for promoting productivity, creativity, and sustainable growth.…”
