The effect of flexible work arrangements, meaningful work, and perceived organisational support on contextual performance amongst female employees in Seychelles

Employees are vital resources in every organisation if the organisation is to increase its overall performance and long-term viability. Female participation in the workforce is increasing, and it is critical for organisations to adopt policies and initiatives that will improve the leadership effectiveness of women in the workplace. Numerous factors influence contextual performance, but few research have been conducted on the factors that influence contextual performance in a developing nation such as Seychelles, where women account for a disproportionate share of the population. Female employees in the Seychelles were asked to participate in this study in order to evaluate the impact of flexible work arrangements, perceived organisational support, and meaningful employment on their contextual performance. This was a quantitative research using female employees in the Seychelles as the target group. A questionnaire that was self-administered was used to gather information from the eighty-two participants. The findings demonstrated that perceived organisational support as well as meaningful work had a statistically significant association with context-specific performance. Flexible work arrangements, on the other hand, did not appear to have a statistically significant association with contextual performance. Currently, this is the first study to analyse the factors of contextual performance among female employees in a developing nation, to the best of the author's knowledge.
