This paper aims to examine the direct and indirect impact of ambient air pollution (AAP) on employees' performance. This study has used cross sectional survey design to collect the data from the outdoor employees of the pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan. The data were collected in time lags from 299. Partial least squares- structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was applied to analyze the data. The results show that AAP has a significant negative impact on the employees' performance, and anxiety partially mediates the association between AAP and employees' performance. This study reveals that AAP brings anxiety among outdoor employees, which in turn decreases their working performance. The implications, limitations, and future research directions are presented in the last section of this study.
本文旨在探讨环境空气污染(AAP)对员工绩效的直接和间接影响。本研究采用横断面调查设计,从巴基斯坦制药行业的户外员工中收集数据。数据是在299个时间滞后中收集的。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)方法对数据进行分析。结果表明,AAP对员工绩效有显著的负面影响,焦虑在AAP与员工绩效之间的关联中起部分中介作用。本研究表明,AAP会给户外员工带来焦虑,进而降低他们的工作绩效。本研究的最后一部分阐述了研究的意义、局限性和未来的研究方向。
