Ismoyo, Thomas Ulun (2021) An exploration of calling, job performance, and innovation in the Catholic Church. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research explores the notion of work as a calling and its impact on job performance and innovation in the context of the Catholic Church. Employing the data gained from Catholic priests in Australia and Indonesia and utilising the lens of role identification and person-environment fit theory, this study revealed that priest’s calling is multidimensional and influences different dimensions of their job performance. Additionally, the results found the importance of organisational climate and living the calling as essential factors in enhancing the effect of calling on job performance. This research extends the literature of calling, job performance, and innovation.
