Abstract

In recent years, Industry 4.0 has been introduced as a popular term to describe the trend towards digitization and automation of the manufacturing environment. To sustain in this new era with technology adoption, every engineer in manufacturing companies especially R&D engineers plays an important role in innovation, product design, and development. This article proposes organization, job, and personal factors and motivation to enhance the engineer performance. Researchers and practitioners have paid considerable attention to job performance because performance at an individual level has desirable consequences on an organization. However, studies on the role of motivation as a mediating in the relationship between the predictors and performance are relatively limited. From a strategic perspective, since organizations have a major influence on their human capital, incorporating organizational-level elements such as organization, job, and personal factors may facilitate our understanding of the interlocking relationships between the above factors and employee job performance. This paper aims to review the extant literature and propose a model linking organization (compensation), job (job autonomy) and personal (pro-active personality) factors with job performance. Also discussed is the electrical and electronics sector in the Malaysian manufacturing context to support the proposed linkage. Findings from the review were then utilized to develop a research model for further testing.
