HOW BROADLY DOES EDUCATION CONTRIBUTE TO JOB PERFORMANCE?
通过元分析研究教育水平与九种工作行为的关系，发现教育不仅提升核心任务绩效，还促进创造力和公民行为，减少物质使用和缺勤，并受性别、种族、工作级别和复杂度调节。
This study looks at the effects of education level on job performance in 2 ways. First, it provides a meta‐analysis on the relationships between education level and 9 dimensions of job behaviors representing task, citizenship, and counterproductive performance. Results here show that, in addition to positively influencing core task performance, education level is also positively related to creativity and citizenship behaviors and negatively related to on‐the‐job substance use and absenteeism. Second, we investigate the moderating effects of sample and research design characteristics on the relationships between education and job performance. Significant results were found for gender, race, job level, and job complexity. The article concludes with implications for future research and the management of an increasingly educated workforce.
