Moderating Mechanism of Psychological Hardiness in the Effect of Emotional Exhaustion on Teachers Job Performance
Abstract
This study was aimed to examine the role of psychological hardiness in the effect of emotional exhaustion on job performance of teachers. Data were collected from 383 regular university teachers by applying purposive sampling technique. To overcome potential common method biases, the study applied time lagged and dyadic approach for collection of data. Hypothesized direct effects were examined with the help of structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to identify the feasible measurement model. For probing the moderating mechanism, PROCESS macro of Hayes (2013) was used. Results indicated a negative and significant effect of emotional exhaustion on each component of performance, i.e. in-role and extra-role. Furthermore, the results revealed that psychological hardiness fully moderated the effect of emotional exhaustion on job performance of teachers. Implications and limitations of findings were also discussed and further research possibilities were specified. The study contributed in existing literature by examining the moderating role of hardiness in teaching profession.
