Abstract—The study attempts to examine the psychometric
properties of the job performance constructs by integrating the
two subscales; task performance and contextual performance.
Results from preliminary psychometric conclude that the
nursing performance scale has good internal consistency and
good criterion validity. A measure developed by Greenslade
and Jimmieson was used as a reliable and valid tool in assessing
nurses’ job performance. The results of exploratory factor
analysis confirmed that the measurement scale used in this
study satisfactorily met the standards of validity and reliability
analyses. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed five
dimensions of task performance namely: technical care,
non-job specific behavior, provision of information, provision
of support and coordination of care. Meanwhile, three
dimensions of Contextual Performance namely: job-task
support, interpersonal support and organizational support; as
the dimensions that measure Job Performance constructs.
Index Terms—Job performance, task performance,
contextual performance.
