Predicting Employee Performance

Abstract

The research aims to perform an intergenerational analysis regarding the impact of counterproductive behavior and contextual performance on employees' task performance. The analysis is performed on a convenience sample of 165 employees from three different generations who work in the banking system. The results show that (1) 33.50% of task performance variance is determined by the variance of contextual individual performance and counterproductive behavior, (2) 13% of the variance of contextual individual performance can be explained by the variance in counterproductive behavior, (3) 33.70% of the variance of contextual organizational performance can be explained by the variance of task performance and counterproductive behavior. In addition, significant differences appear regarding the influence of (1) the counterproductive behavior on the contextual performance (Generation X vs. Y), (2) the contextual individual performance on task performance (Generation X vs. Z), and (3) the counterproductive behavior on the contextual individual performance (Generation Y vs. Z).
