Findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between job performance with rational and intuitive decision-making styles, a negative and significant relationship between job performance with avoidant and instantaneous styles, and a relationship between dependent decision-making style and job performance. There was a positive and significant relationship between job performance and rational, emotional, and avoidant coping styles, negative and significant, and no relationship, respectively. The findings also showed that rational, intuitive, avoidant, instantaneous decision-making styles as well as rational and emotional coping styles are able to predict job performance in teachers.
