摘要
In this study, we examined how travel experiences affect job performance by improving generic skills and self-efficacy. We collected data using a questionnaire delivered to 232 Japanese employees working for a temporary employment agency. Additionally, an objective measurement (financial data) was used to assess employees' job performance level. The results revealed that travel experiences positively influenced job performance as mediated by generic skills and general self-efficacy. In addition to offering important implications for organizations and employees, our findings are likely to advance the current research on the mechanism of the benefits of travel on job performance.
