I am conducting research as part of my thesis for the Master of Organisational Psychology and am looking at which motivational drivers account for the most variance in high performing employees. I am struggling to find good measures of job performance (i need a self report and supervisor report measure)
The following paper contains a job performance scale that has been frequently used in research. It can be used for supervisor or self ratings.

You can use many standardized instruments (e.g., Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire) just by changing the wording of the items asked for employees with "supervisors" and ask supervisors to estimate how their employee would respond to each question.
Besides, you can use single-item measures of job performance as well (please see the discussions on single-item assessment of job satis.).
