Perceived Organisational Support and Employees’ Performance: the mediating role of Affective Commitment. International Journal Management and Enterprise Development, 19(3), 187-202. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMED.2020.1087131468-43301741-8127http://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/5913This paper aims to understand if workers’ affective commitment (AC) mediates the relationship between perceived organisational support (POS) and individual performance (IP). Using a sample of 476 professionals of a Turkish hospital, structural equation modelling was used to test for the model of analysis. Results revealed that: 1) POS is positively related with employees’ AC; 2) POS is positively related with IP; 3) AC is positively related with IP; 4) AC fully mediates the relationship between POS and IP. This study suggests that supporting employees is a valid path for the development of an affective bond with the organisation, which in turn fosters employees’ effectiveness.engPerceived organisational supportPOSAffective commitmentIndividual performanceManagementDevelopmentjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1504/IJMED.2020.108713
