Exploring the construct of task performance of academics in an Asian context: Teaching is different from research

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the latent factorial structure of task performance and to establish its construct validity among academics working at private universities in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach: Through a cross-sectional research design, purposive sampling and quot...
