The Mediating Role of Presenteeism in The Effect on of Job Insecurity in The Private Sector on Employee Performance

Abstract

There are various positive and negative variables affecting employee performance in both the private and public sectors. The aim of this study is to investigate the mediating role of presenteeism in the effect on of job insecurity on employee performance. The sample consists of employees in the retail sector operating in Isparta province. A quantitative research method was chosen, and data were collected using a survey technique. The collected survey data was subjected to analysis via the utilization of the SPSS v.26 and AMOS v.24 software packages. The research was categorized as correlational in nature. For the purposes of this investigation, a simple random sampling method was elected for sample selection. At the conclusion of the study, it has been identified that job insecurity affects both employee performance and presenteeism. Additionally, it was determined that job insecurity in conjunction with presenteeism influences employee performance. However, it was found that “completing work” does not serve a mediating role in the impact of job insecurity on employee performance. Instead, it was discovered that “avoiding distraction” plays a full mediating role. This implies that job insecurity may negatively affect employee performance, and this effect on operates through the mentioned mediating variable.
