Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was t to investigate the impact of work-family conflict on work performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of employee innovative behavior and the moderating role of creative self-efficacy, based on the principles of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory among employees in Chinese national AMCs.   Theoretical framework: Recent literature has reported good results in work-family conflict in work performance (Hendra and Made, 2019). However, there is still much to investigate and learn about WP because it is a recent development.   Design/Methodology/Approach: This study adopted SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) research method and using the software PLS 3.0 processing data collected from 548 questionnaires distributed through email-box to the general employees of four main cities of the four national AMCs in China.   Findings:  Based on this study, it can be concluded that work-family conflict has a significant negative impact on work performance in the AMC industry. Higher levels of work-family conflict leading to lower work performance. However, employee’s creative self-efficacy and innovative behavior can improve their performance.   Research, Practical & Social implications:  This study contributes to the existing literature exploring the role of work-family conflict as a negative factor affecting employees' work performance within the framework of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory. Practically, this study provides valuable guidance for managers in noticing and addressing specific challenges within China's national AMCs. We suggest a future research of framework in this research in other industries or countries with different cultural, economic, and organizational contexts with longitudinal or experimental designs.   Originality/Value: The results highlight the relevance of the SOR framework in guiding managerial considerations, addressing practical problems, and fostering positive work environments that lead to improved work performance in national asset management companies.
