Abstract
This study integrated the person-job-fit theory to look into the association between polychronicity and employees’ performance mediated through employees’ engagement in education sector. By applying, random sampling, this study collected primary data from the teachers of Government colleges (N=187), through survey questionnaire. The results indicated the main effect of polychronicity and indirect effect through employee’s engagement on employees’ performance (in-role behaviour). Findings suggested a positive and significant relationship of Polychronicity with employees’ performance. The mediating role of employee’s engagement in the association between polychronicity and employees’ performance (in-role-behaviour) was also strongly supported by the results. Overall, this study contributed by established employees’ engagement as the missing link in the relationship between polychronicity and employees’ performance (in-role behaviour).
