Abstract
Introduction: private universities now face multiple pressing challenges, one of the reasons is the low job performance of academic staff. In order to solve the problem, this study considered the factors that affect job performance. Objective: building on the Job Demand-Resource (JD-R) Theory, this study explored the underlying association between passion, workplace incivility, work-life balance and job performance of academic staff in China. Specifically, we tested the mediating mechanism of work-life balance that has received less consideration in the former literature. Method: a sample of 385 private university academic staff from 21470 was selected. Questionnaires were distributed to them. Statistical techniques such as SPSS 27 and Smart-PLS 4 were applied for analysis. Results: the results revealed a positive relationship between passion and job performance and a negative relationship between workplace incivility and job performance. In addition, work-life balance mediated the relationship between passion, workplace incivility and job performance. Conclusions: this study contributed to the literature on work-life balance and job performance by stating how work-life balance could play a mediator role between the path of job resources and of job demands to job performance.
