Abstract:
Job performance is one of the most important dependent variable and is associated with both
employee and organizational-level outcomes. The study aims to review existing studies to
discuss the conceptualization of employee job performance including diverse definitions of
the construct, to describe the frameworks that are developed for specific occupations and
applicable across all jobs, to describe the frameworks that are developed for specific
occupations and are applicable across all jobs, to determine the most widely used dimensions
of job performance in the literature. There is still no consensus and universally accepted
definition of what performance is. Scholars have conceptualized job performance in different
angles. Even though some scholars have attempted to model the entire domain of job
performance, several scholars have focused on specific performance. Extensive literature
review shows that employee performance is multidimensional construct and the most
frequently used dimensions of job performance are task performance, contextual
performance, adaptive performance and counterproductive performance.
