Purpose: The multi-dimensional nature of ‘employee productivity’ as a research construct needs extensive exploration, especially in view of the job-resources framework and in terms of stakeholder and accountability perspectives. The research study explored the topic with “individual” perceptions in exploring the pattern and tendency of the impact of acculturation and other organizational resources and protocols on the “perceived employee productivity”.
Theoretical framework: The theoretical implications of the research lie in the empirical exploration of the influences across employees, workplace-provided job resources, and contextual aspects that seem to shape the impetus for employee productivity.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study delved into the aspects of ‘acculturation’, ‘open innovation’, ‘social media networking’, ‘employee vitality’, and ‘employee productivity’ for measuring the phenomenon in the Indian banking sector. The factors were operationalized with Likert scaling instruments and extractive factor analysis and structural equation modeling were leveraged.
Findings: The study observed a positive significant relationship among acculturation, open innovation, social media networking, employee vitality, and employee productivity in the Indian banking sector.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The research provides evidence that the organizational provision of job resources is a driving force behind the attainment of effective and sustainable employee productivity in the banking service sector. The research outcomes support and vindicate the prior research on the role of job resources in coping with workplace-derived uncertainties and exhibiting workplace productivity.
Originality/Value: The research outcomes illustrate the set of implications that possess meaning for core managerial application. The research has achieved the operationalization of employee productivity based on organizational support in the form of job resources.
