Previous research on the association between job insecurity and performance has yielded inconsistent results. Using longitudinal data from the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 U.S. Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), this study examines the effect of job insecurity on organizational performance. The results indicate that the overall effect of job insecurity at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is an increase of approximately 12 percentage points in organizational performance. This study finds that job insecurity plays an important role in determining organizational performance in the context of the employment at-will system for the Senior Executive Service (SES).
