Main Article Content
Abstract
In today’s uncertain world, it is imperative that employees apart from task performance also demonstrate contextual performance. This is essential for the survival and growth of the organisation. Previous studies recommended moratorium on such studies which explore only the link of personality and performance. However, a need has been stressed to study other factors to develop a comprehensive understanding of the dyadic relation between personality and performance. In this paper, a conceptual model is proposed that explores the effect of the personality of the individual on his/her contextual performance in the light of various other factors like subjective well-being, length of service, values, task performance and location (place of posting) and management level. The use of various studies has been done to propose the model. The research paper has offered number of research propositions to summarise the dynamics of personality, subjective well-being and contextual performance along with number of demographic factors like task performance, management level, length of service, location, gender, age and education. The proposed model can be tested empirically in future research. The article concludes with the study implications, proposed model limitations and future studies directions in both academic and corporate world.
