Abstract

The present research investigates how creative personal identity (CPI) impacts employee performance (EP). Additionally, it evaluates the parallel mediating role of three distinct dimensions of happiness at work: work engagement, job satisfaction, and affective commitment. Data collection was conducted using a web-based questionnaire administered to 423 professionals working in both public and private sectors in Türkiye. Hypotheses were tested using a parallel mediation model with seven control variables. The results indicate that CPI has a positive and direct effect on EP. Among the three mediators, only work engagement was found to be a significant partial mediator between CPI and EP. The mediating effects of job satisfaction and affective commitment were not significant. Consequently, the study highlights that the sub-dimensions of happiness at work play differing roles in shaping behavioral outcomes. Work engagement serves as the key mechanism through which creative self-perception translates into higher performance. Practically, organizations should focus on fostering work engagement rather than relying solely on job satisfaction and affective commitment.
