Abstract

This research aimed to explore the relations among work values, work attitude (including job involvement and organizational commitment) and job performance, and explore how the director’s leadership may be a moderator between the work values and work attitude of green industry employees in Taiwan. Data was collected through convenience sampling. The samples in this study were employees and directors in the green energy industry in Taiwan, A total of 650 questionnaires were sent to employees and 120 questionnaires to directors. Of these, 485 valid questionnaires from the employees were received as well as 92 questionnaires from the directors. The research results found a positive correlation between work values and job attitude (including job involvement and organizational commitment). A mediated effect was shown in work attitude and job involvement toward work value and job performance. Directors with a supportive and directive leadership style had a moderate effect on the relations between work values and work attitude (including job involvement and organizational commitment).

Key words: Work value, work attitude, leadership style, job performance, green energy industry.
