Abstract

The overall changes due to globalisation and competition in the education industry has placed a greater pressure on the performance of academics at Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia. The provision of quality education depends on the performance of the academics. Of late, performance of academics at Higher Education Institutions is reclining and seen to be gaining a huge attention and discussion among researchers. This study examines the effect of Human Resource Practices (Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Compensation Practices and Performance Appraisal), Transformational Leadership and Emotional Intelligence on Employee Performance, mediated by Job Satisfaction among academics in Malaysian Private Higher Educational Institutions. The methodology employed in this research is quantitative and data was collected through a 5 Likert scale structured questionnaire. The target population of this study was made up of academic staff at Private Higher Educational Institutions in Klang Valley. A total of 364 questionnaires were collected using convenience sampling method. The data was then analysed using SPSS Statistics version 27 and Smart PLS 4 software. The findings of this study revealed that Compensation Practices and Emotional Intelligence have significant influence on Employee Performance; and Job Satisfaction mediates the relationship between Compensation Practices, Transformational Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Employee Performance. On the other hand, Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Performance Appraisal and Transformational Leadership do not have significant influence on Employee Performance; and Job Satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Performance Appraisal and Employee Performance This research contributes to identifying operative predictors that will significantly contribute towards the increase of Employee Performance among academics at Private Higher Education Institutions. This research also made a valuable contribution in the advancement of human resource management science, especially in the field of Human Resource Practices, Transformational Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Job Satisfaction and suggested avenues for further investigation into the underlying mechanisms that drive this relationship.
