Abstract

This study examines a mediated moderation process linking task variety and task performance of employees, from the review of the previous literature. The research uses multi-stage, matching employees and leaders to collect questionnaires; through a three-stage survey and analysis of 295 employees and their leaders in 54 teams, it is found that: 1. Task variety is positive correlation with task performance.2. Task variety is positive correlation with exploitative learning.3. Job complexity moderates the relationship between task variety and exploitative learning. At a higher level of higher job complexity, the relationship between task variety and exploitative learning is stronger.4. Openness to change moderates the relationship between exploitative learning and task performance. At a higher level of openness to change, the relationship between exploitative learning and task performance is stronger.5. Job complexity and openness to change mediate the role of exploitative learning in the relationship between task variety and task performance. At a higher level of job complexity and openness to change, this intermediary role will be stronger.
