| The aim of this study was to increase insight into contextual performance components that comprise overall job performance (OJP). Information technology (IT) professionals work on enterprise architecture (EA) teams to attain IT-business alignment. IT projects have become integral to organizational strategic planning, and IT can drastically affect the way in which organizations conduct business (Cataldo, McQueen, & Hardings, 2012; Peak, Guynes, Prybutok, & Xu, 2011; Wagner & Weitzel, 2012). The results of the present study showed that the personality variables of contextual performance accounted for 45% of the variance of the OJP of the IT professionals surveyed. Emotional self-efficacy was shown to have very little effect, while perceived competence played a substantial role in OJP (44% of the variance), dedication (21% of the variance), and interpersonal facilitation (34% of the variance). Brownlee and Motowildo (2011) proposed that contextual performance components had the potential to positively impact the technical core, thereby contributing to the overall effectiveness of the organization. The present research supported that position. |
