Abstract: This research study explores the moderating effect of managerial support and mediating effect of continuance and affective commitment on the association of employees’ pay satisfaction and their task performance. Data were collected from the university’s faculty members of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( N = 610) at two phases in time through random sampling technique. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and Preacher and Hayes’s PROCESS macro were utilized. The result showed that commitment positively mediates the relationship between pay satisfaction and manager-rated task performance, whereas pay satisfaction has an indirect positive relationship with task performance through continuance and affective commitment and was stronger in faculty having high managerial support. The continuance commitment mediation for the relationship of pay satisfaction and task performance is stronger compared with the mediation of affective commitment for the same relationship. This study provides a significant contribution to the literature of pay satisfaction by proposing and analyzing the associations between pay satisfaction and task performance as mediated by forms of organizational commitment and first- and second-order moderation of managerial support. The current study adds to the limited research on the effect of managerial support and commitment on the association of pay satisfaction and their task performance in higher education sector of Saudi Arabia.
