The nexus between high performance work system and job performance in Jordanian public hospitals: The mediating role of job stress

Abstract

Jordan's healthcare industry is marked by a fast-paced atmosphere and more competitive marketplaces. However, Jordan's healthcare system is vulnerable to several threats, including human factors, which can interrupt the supply of medical supplies and waste large expenditures. In Jordanian public hospitals, the current research includes surveys and analyses of empirical studies and models related to the high-performance work system (HPWS) and job performance (JP), with the mediating function of job stress (JS). The current study results were estimated based on Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results indicate that HPWS and its dimensions provide a critical role in determining the level of Nurses' JP in a public hospital in Jordan. In addition, they provide a direct effect on identifying the level of Nurses' JS in public hospitals in Jordan. Moreover, the results uncover that JS supports a positive relationship with Nurses' JP of the public hospital in Jordan. The findings also confirm that JS provides an essential mediation role between HPWS and JP of the public hospital in Jordan, which can enhance the performance workplace. Throughout this research, Discussion, recommendations, and conclusion have been fully expounded in their specific sections.
