Prism of Employee Performance Through the Means of Internal Support: A Study of Perceived Organizational Support.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical framework for testing the perceived organizational support (POS)-employee performance relationship with a mediating effect of intrinsic motivation. To combine the concepts from perceived organizational support (POS) and employee performance, secondary data have been collected from different research papers to provide a literature-based analysis. The present study found positive relationships between POS, intrinsic motivation, and employees' performance. The study further realized the intrinsic motivation as a potential mediator between POS and performance relationship. From this framework, numerous areas of research can be pursued to be used to research and practice human resource management. The theoretical framework which is developed in this paper is based upon literature that can be proved empirically. To improve theory, research, and practice in the field of human resource management, this paper conceptualizes the concept of POS through the means of internal support.
