Abstract

Due to the many demands put on them, educators are a profession that faces many difficulties. In addition to being accountable for teaching, academics are now expected to complete other institutional require-ments, such as writing for academic journals, research, publications, meetings, advice, volunteer work, and business partnerships. But they also have obligations to their own families and to themselves. Is it even possible for them to handle such accountability? Is it possible to satisfy their needs? Consequently, the purpose of this research was to investigate how a high-performance work system (HPWS) and academic job performance are related and how quality of working life (QoWL) functions as a mediator (AWP). To par-ticipate in the poll, 332 academics from targeted universities in Malaysia's northern region were chosen at random. The survey questionnaire had 76 items that covered three different factors: HPWS, QOWL, and work effectiveness. SmartPLS 3.0 was used to evaluate the survey data as a whole using structural equation modelling (SEM). This research supports the idea that the standard of work life is positively correlated with a workplace that is highly productive. Additionally, academic job performance is positively correlated with the quality of one's work-life balance. Overall, the findings of this research support the notion that QOWL functions as a mediator between high-performance workplaces and academic work success. Finally, because the introduction of HPWS can significantly enhance academicians' work performance and the quality of their working lives, this research makes a contribution to the social exchange theory. This study also discusses the suggestions for future research and considers the management consequences.
