Abstract
We analyze the relationship among psychological growth (Openness to Change, Management of failure and Flexibility) and job performance (extrarrol, intrarrol and Compliance), mediated by overall job satisfaction. This study used a sample of 731 employees and their immediate boss of five Colombian companies from the industrial and service sectors. The results using structural equation (SEM) show that job satisfaction partially mediates between openness to change and extrarrol performance (assessed by the immediate boss). Flexibility and openness to change are positively and directly associated with overall job satisfaction and this predicts extrarrol performance and compliance, assessed by the boss.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
