Perceiving organizational support is a crucial factor in enhancing teacher job satisfaction and contributes to improving teacher job performance. Previous research has predominantly focused on the impact of job satisfaction on job performance, overlooking the interactions among factors shaping perceived organizational support. This study aims to examine the interrelationships among personality traits, perceived organizational support, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction in influencing teacher job performance. A total of 581 university teachers participated in an empirical study, and the results confirmed that perceived organizational support influences teacher job performance directly and indirectly through personality traits, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction. This study develops and validates a novel model illustrating how perceived organizational support indirectly influences teachers'job performance through personality traits, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction. By emphasizing the mediating roles of personality traits, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction, this study makes a significant contribution to the theoretical literature. Moreover, it provides valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for universities to formulate support strategies tailored to teachers' personality traits, thereby enhancing their job performance.
