Excerpt:
Business competition, rapid technological changes, and government reforms or deregulations around the globe have put companies in difficult situations resulting in the risk of job insecurity, which deteriorates the well‐being of the employees, leading to decreased job performance. This research extends the knowledge of the link between job insecurity and job performance by exploring the potential mediating mechanism of Subjective well‐being in the food and beverage industry. Data from 357 employees of the food and beverages industry from two districts in Pakistan were collected through a pretested questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses using SmartPLS software. Reliability and validity checks were applied to assess the measurements and structural models. The findings reveal that job insecurity has a negative impact on job performance, whereas subjective well‐being has a significantly positive influence on job performance. Furthermore, subjective well‐being mediates the negative relationship between job insecurity and job performance. Multi‐industry analysis can give more‐robust and ‐generalizable results. In addition to subjective well‐being, other mediators and moderators can be added for this relationship. Managers can improve their team performance by reducing on‐the‐job insecurity and improving the working condition and personal care of employees.
