| description | Based upon existing literature, stress at the workplace has a negative effect on commitment. The negative effect on
commitment jeopardizes individual productivity. The purpose of the present study is to determine the indirect effects of
occupational stressors on individual productivity through the analysis of commitment variables. The respondents were
selected utilizing the proportionate stratified random sampling method. A total of 300 questionnaires were collected
from the academic administrators of 5 Malaysian research universities. The research instrument used for the stress and
commitment components is adopted from the ASSET (A Shortened Stress Evaluation Tool). Meanwhile, the productivity
component utilized the criteria employed by the annual performance appraisal of the research universities. Occupational
stressors are analyzed dimensionally, while commitment and individual productivity are analyzed aggregately. The
results show that certain occupational stressors are significantly, but negatively, related to commitment, including work
relationships; work-life balance; overload; control; resources and communication; and pay and benefits. The results also
indicate that certain occupational stressors are significantly, but negatively, related to individual productivity, including
work relationships; work-life balance; job security; control; resources and communication; and pay and benefits. Finally,
the present study finds that commitment partially mediates the aforementioned relationships. |
