Abstract

Different forms of organization evolved at the end of the historical processes and changes in the communities. These national differentiations on business process are defined by the concept of national business systems. The influences of organizational support, competence and psychological capital on individual performance are related to various theories like Social Identity, Social Exchange, etc. However, progressive interaction between these variables has not been studied enough in the related literature. These variables affect each other and gradually performance increase is expected. The primary objective in this study is to increase the understanding of psychological capital for the organization by testing the effects of organizational support and employee attitudes/behaviours on performance perception in different national work systems and countries
