Abstract: The study aims to create a comprehensive model for enhancing employee performance in the Indian organised sector. A longitudinal study was conducted using a self-reported questionnaire with 40 indicators. The model was validated and found to be deterministic, with psychological ownership, employee empowerment, initiatives, and adaptive performance being key factors. This research contributes to performance management literature by integrating these factors into the job demand and resources theory. It offers practical insights for organisations to prioritise resources and interventions, promote informed decision making, and support policies and practices. The study's originality lies in demonstrating four-factor relationships with employee performance that were not previously documented or expected.

Keywords: employee performance; psychological ownership; employee empowerment; initiatives; adaptability.
