The relationship between employee mental health and job performance has been one of the key concerns in workplace. However, extant studies suffer from incomplete results due to their focus on developed economies' contexts and the unclear path of employee mental health's impact on performance. In this paper, we investigate the mechanism of employee mental health influencing job performance. We use the data of Chinese firms to test these hypotheses. Drawing on a sample of 239 firms from China, we find that employee mental health positively impacts job performance, and such relationship is mediated by innovative behavior and work engagement. The findings not only enrich the discipline's knowledge on mental health in an emerging economy setting but also extend the implications of mental health, innovative behavior, and work engagement to job performance.
员工心理健康与工作绩效之间的关系一直是工作场所的主要关注点之一。然而,由于现有的研究侧重于发达经济体的背景,以及员工心理健康对绩效影响的路径不明确,因此研究结果并不完整。在本文中,我们研究了员工心理健康影响工作绩效的机制。我们使用中国企业的数据来检验这些假设。我们从中国的 239 家企业中抽取样本,发现员工心理健康对工作绩效有正向影响,这种关系是通过创新行为和工作投入来中介的。这些发现不仅丰富了新兴经济体背景下心理健康学科的知识,还将心理健康、创新行为和工作投入对工作绩效的影响扩展到了工作绩效。
