Abstract

In the competitive environment, employee job performance plays a critical role in competitive advantages. The increased competitive pressure to enhance performance has concurrently raised job insecurity among workers. In line with this, the current study aims to examine the impact of employee job insecurity on employee job performance. Further, organizational justice is studied as a moderating variable in this link; this study provides a nuanced consideration of how fair treatment in the workplace might decrease the impact of job insecurity on employee performance. By employing a robust methodology, including a survey of 400 staff working in the Pakistani banking sector and data analysis using Smart PLS-SEM, the current study provides a valuable understanding of the dynamics at play within the banking sector. The consequences proposed that job insecurity significantly affects job performance, with organizational justice moderating the proposed path. Furthermore, the research implications and limitations are presented in the last part of the study.
