Partial Least Squares Method (PLS) algorithm and bootstrap techniques were used to test the hypotheses. The results provided support for some of the hypothesized relationships in the study. Specifically, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and affective commitment were significantly and positively related to task and contextual performance. However, physical environment, psychosocial environment, work-life balance, normative and continuance commitment were significantly and negatively related to both task and contextual performance. Additionally, perceived organizational justice was significantly and positively related to task and contextual performance.
