Abstract
Organisations are currently facing several problems, some of which are driven by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has changed the way employees perform their duties. Because human resources are critical to the growth of each organisation, it is important that they find the most effective strategies to improve their employees' work performance. This study aims to assess the extent to which information resources, work conditions, and employee competencies influence the work performance of their employees. Additionally, research focuses on how the relationships between these variables manifest themselves depending on whether employees performed their duties online or on-site. To collect data for this study, a survey was used, and the data was analysed using a combined PLS-SEM technique and necessary conditions analysis (NCA). The sample consisted of 347 respondents who worked online or on-site in Romanian companies. The main findings highlighted that regardless of whether employees worked online or on site, both the employees' competencies and organisational informational resources positively and significantly influenced employees' work performances, while work conditions had no significant effect. Furthermore, the findings revealed that for employees who work online, the organisation's informational resources and work conditions are a meaningful and significant necessary condition for work performance. Theoretically, the findings of this study could add to the body of current literature. From a practical standpoint, the main implications arise from the fact that the findings of this research can be of great use to decision makers in organisations that can discover the effects of considered factors on the work performances of their own employees and identify which are the variables they should focus on when they want to achieve a certain level of the employees' work performances, depending on how they carry out their work (generally online or on-site).
