Purpose Statement

The purpose of this study is to check the relationship between Employee productivity, Employee
performance, Employee Innovation (Independent variables) and Organizational performance
(Dependent variable) directly and then to check the same in presence of mediating variable i.e.
job security
Objective of the Study
Two main objectives of the study are as under:
1. To investigate the extent to which three variables i.e. Employee productivity, Employee
performance, Employee Innovation influences the Organizational performance.
2. To examine weather mediating variable i.e. job security mediates the relationship
between Employee productivity, Employee performance, Employee Innovation
(Independent variables) and Organizational performance (Dependent variable).

Research Hypothesis:
The following hypothesis are generated on the basis of proposed mediating model
H1: There is no relationship between employee productivity and organizational performance.
H2: There is a no relationship between employee performance and organizational performance.
H3: There is a positive relationship between employee innovation and organizational
performance.
H4: There is no relationship between job security and organizational performance.
H5: There is positive relationship between employee productivity and job security.
H6: There is no relationship between employee performance and job security.
H7: There is no relationship between employee innovation and job security.
H8: Job security does not mediates the relationship between employee productivity and
organizational performance.
H9: Job security does not mediates the relationship between employee performance and
organizational performance.
H10: Job security does not mediates the relationship between employee innovation and
organizational performance.

The data in this study was collected through questioner consisting of 5 variables i.e. Employee
productivity, Employee performance, Employee innovation, Organizational performance, Job
security. There was total 24 items to measure the response of respondents. Questions was asked
on five-point Likert Scale Mean scores of different items range from 1.70 to 2.68 and the value
of standard deviations range from 0.753 to 1.13. (See Table 2)
Table 3 Reliability of Measurement

performance
Job security 135 5 0.660
Over all 143 24 0.626
Table 3 shows the reliability of each measure of the questioner. For the given sample Cronbach’s
Coefficient alpha varies from .557 to .733. Employee productivity with 97.2%, Employee
performance with 97.2%, Employee innovation with 95.8%, Organizational performance with
92.3% and Job security with 94.4% which shows that each multi-item construct possesses high
reliability. The high Cronbach’s alpha value for each construct implies that they are internally
consistent. The overall reliability of the questioner is 0.626.

Factor Analysis:
To validate the construct validity (Convergent and discriminant validity), factor analysis is
conducted using the PCA technique with Varimax rotation method. Results of PCA are shown in
Table 4, 5 and 6 respectively. KMO measure of sampling adequacy test and Bartlett’s test of
sphericity is applied to check whether the data is adequate for factor analysis.
Table 4 KMO and Bartlett’s test
Constructs No of items KMO Measure Bartlett’s Test Bartlett’s Test

Employee productivity 5 0.661 51.968 0.000
Employee performance 4 0.712 108.4 0.000
Employee innovation 5 0.712 86.87 0.000
Organizational 5 0.774 120.4 0.000
performance
Job security 5 0.709 89.02 0.000

The value of KMO=0.5 is poor, KMO=0.6 is acceptable and KMO=1 is more suitable for factor
analysis. However, Hutcheson and Sofroniou (1999) further explain that (KMO=0.5 and 0.7)
considered as unsatisfactory and (KMO=0.7, 0.8), (KMO=0.8 and 0.9) considered as satisfactory
whereas value above 0.9 is considered as absolute perfect Hinton et al., (2004). Based on Hinton
(2004) it is reveled from table 4 that value of KMO for each construct is well above acceptable
level of 0.6. KMO = 0.661 for Employee productivity, KMO = 0.712 for Employee performance,
KMO = 0.712 for Employee innovation, KMO=0.774 for Organizational performance and
KMO=0.709 for Job security, which shows that it is worth conducting factor analysis in the case
of the present data.
Bartlett’s test of sphericity is conducted to check the significance of the relationship between the
items of a construct. If there is no relationship among the items of a construct then it will be
pointless to go ahead with the factor analysis. Bartlett’s test assumes a null hypothesis of no
correlation. Generally, a p-value < 0.05 confirms the significance of the relationship among items
variables. Table 4 reflects that the p-value of Bartlett’s test in the case of all constructs is less than
0.001 which provides evidence against the null hypothesis of no correlation. So we can continue
with factor analysis.

Generally those components of a construct considered to be the principal components that have an
eigenvalue greater than 1 and they are used for further analysis. Table 5 contains all Eigenvalues
and also shows total variance explained for the constructs. Only one principal component was
extracted from each of the three constructs by using the PCA extraction method: EP (consisted of
5 items explaining 36.5% variance), EPER (consisted of 4 items explaining 53.77% variance), EI
(consisted of 5 items explaining 42.25% variance), OP (consisted of 5 items explaining 48.42%
variance) and JS (consisted of 5 items explaining 42.57% variance).

According to Straub et al. (2004), the minimum value for the loading of all items should be greater
than 0.40. For all constructs (EP, EPer, EI, OP, JS) all related items are loaded on just one principal
component with varied factor loadings ranging from 0.432 to 0.821 as shown in the table no 6.
The above illustrated results satisfy the criteria of construct validity including both discriminant
and convergent validity. This means that the collected data from this particular instrument is valid.

3.1.4 Regression Analysis And Sobel Test For Mediation


Conditions to apply Sobel test.
The assumptions of applying sobel test are as under:
3. Positive and significant regression coefficients between Independent and dependent
variables.
4. Positive and significant regression coefficients between Independent and mediating
variables.
5. Positive and significant regression coefficients between mediating and dependent
variables.

Here ** means beta is significant at 1% LOS and * means beta is Significant at 5% LOS
From above tables 7, 7.1. 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 it is show that there is positive and significant
relationship between independent and dependent variable, Mediating and Dependent variable and
independent and dependent variable so we can apply sobel test to check the mediating role of
mediating variables on dependent variables in presence of independent variables.
In order to apply Sobel test, we have to find the T vales of independent and dependent variables
and Mediating and Dependent variables in presence of independent variables.

Above table 7.5 shows there is no significant impact of mediating variables i.e. student care and
competence on student satisfaction in presence of Independent variable i.e. teacher experience.
While competence and student care mediates the effect on student satisfaction in presence of
Qualification of teachers. If we consider level of significance at 10% then competence and student
care mediates their effect on student satisfaction in presence of both Experience and Qualification
of teachers.

2. Discussion
The Results shows that qualification of module leader significantly effects the student
satisfaction. And experience of the teacher having insignificant effect on student
satisfaction. Student care partially mediates between qualification and student satisfaction,
similarly competence and teaching methodology partially mediates between qualification
and student satisfaction. So the policy makers should focus on the qualification of a teacher,
the experience should be given Weightage but the qualification of module leader should be
given priority.

3. Limitations
Following are few limitations of the study
1. The data was taken from govt. employees (teaching and non-teaching staff).
2. Job security must be consider as independent variable or add more mediating variables
3. The mode of collecting data is only questioners; there must be some FGD and
interviews as well.
4. Role of private organization staff in organizational performance is also missing.

4. Further Research Directions


1. The study can be extended to private schools, college, Govt. universities, Govt.
College. .
2. Sample size can be bigger to generalize the results.
3. The role of compensation or monetary reward or motivation could be added ,
4. Interviews and FGD are also recommended for better results.
