TY - JOUR AU - Suliman, Abubakr M.T. AB - This paper aims at exploring the multidimensional nature of performance in a Middle Eastern country. Using eighteen-item scales, 1,000 employees from twenty industrial firms were surveyed, representing the three managerial levels, i.e. top, middle and bottom management. Both self-performance ratings (SPR) and immediatesupervisor-performance ratings (ISPR) were used to examine the dimensionality of performance. The study results revealed that performance is a multifaceted concept, and that it comprises five factors. Both SPR and ISPR were found to be multidimensional constructs. The implications of the results for both researchers and practitioners are also discussed in the paper. TI - Work performance: is it one thing or many things?
