Abstract:
The primary focus of this study was to asses the impact of selected
antecedent variables namely Psychological Empowerment at Work (PEW),
Psychological Contract Violation (PCV), Work Life Balance (WLB), Job
Satisfaction (JS) and Affective Organisational Commitment (AOC) on
Managerial Performance (MP) of middle level managers of private sector
manufacturing and service sector organisations in Kerala.The study brings out the significance of Job Attitudes namely Job
Satisfaction and Affective Organisational Commitment in meaningfully
explaining the linkage between the rest of the antecedent variables in the
study and Managerial Performance. The study interestingly revealed that
Job Attitudes play a mediating role in explaining performance of managers
unlike visualised in the initial conceptual framework. The study points to
the importance of taking care of job attitudes in the work place to ensure performance of managers. The result of the study also brings out the
significance of maintaining work-life balance especially in service sector
organisations because it will have a direct impact on the level of
performance of managers than most of the other contextual factors. Hence,
it is the responsibility of HR department to initiate activities which are
customised to the collective aspirations of the members of respective
organisations to ensure positive job attitudes. HR departments should
advice and convince the top management to provide resource support and
endorsement to such initiatives.
