In this study, first we examined the effect of workplace romance on employee job performance, and the mediatory role of psychological wellbeing in the relationship between workplace romance and employee performance. Then we tested the moderating effects of gender and workplace romance type - lateral or hierarchical - on the indirect effect of workplace romance on employee performance. Based on a survey of 311 doctors from five government teaching hospitals in Pakistan, we used structural equation modeling and bootstrapping to test these relationships. This study reveals that psychological wellbeing significantly fully mediates the positive relationship between workplace romance and job performance. Moreover, multi-group analysis shows that gender moderates the indirect effect of workplace romance on employee performance, where the indirect effect of workplace romance on employee performance is stronger for male participants. This study carries important implications, particularly for the policy makers and managers of healthcare sector organizations.
在本研究中，首先我们考察了职场恋情对员工工作绩效的影响，以及心理健康在职场恋情与员工绩效关系中的中介作用。然后我们检验了性别和职场恋情类型（横向或层级式）对职场恋情对员工绩效间接影响的调节作用。基于对巴基斯坦五家政府教学医院的311名医生的调查，我们使用结构方程模型和自抽样法来检验这些关系。本研究表明，心理健康显著地完全中介了职场恋情与工作绩效之间的正向关系。此外，多组分析表明，性别调节了职场恋情对员工绩效的间接影响，职场恋情对男性参与者的员工绩效间接影响更强。本研究具有重要意义，尤其对于医疗行业组织的政策制定者和管理者而言。
