Abstract: By employing confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis,we examine the different structural domains of task performance and contextual performance and explore their effects on work outcomes including promotability and intention to quit under the context of Chinese culture.The results indicate that contextual performance could be distinguished from task performance empirically.Task performance and job dedication dimension of contextual performance are positively related to promotability of employees significantly,and task performance can predict intention to quit of employees.Limitations and future studies are discussed.
