Review and Prospect of Employee Contextual Performance Research

Abstract

With the advent of the knowledge-based economy, market competition has become increasingly fierce and employees' job roles have become increasingly blurred, so employee contextual performance plays an increasingly important role. The strength of contextual performance is a key factor affecting whether employees and organizations can achieve sustainable development, and how to maximize employee contextual performance is one of the important issues of concern to both theoretical and corporate communities. In this paper, we review existing contextual performance research, sort out the concepts and dimensions of contextual performance, antecedent variables, and outcome variables, and propose future research directions for contextual performance in response to the shortcomings of existing contextual performance. It provides insights for subsequent scholars' research on contextual performance and the contextual performance management of corporate employees.
