Purpose: Research on the relationship between job insecurity and job performance has thus far yielded inconclusive results. The purpose of this paper is to offer a more dynamic perspective on the effects of job insecurity on job performance. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing from cognitive appraisal theory, research on critical life events, and stress reactions as well as more general theorizing around the role of time, this paper proposes that individuals’ job performance reactions to job insecurity will be dynamic over time. Findings: Adopting a person-centered perspective, this paper suggests that there are seven subpopulations that differ in their intra-individual job performance change patterns over time. Research limitations/implications: This paper presents potential predictors of subpopulation membership and presents an agenda for future research. Originality/value: We contribute to the literature by introducing a dynamic perspective to the study of job performance in the context of job insecurity. Delineating a set of open questions that follow from the presented theoretical arguments, the authors also hope to stimulate future research in the context of job insecurity and job performance.

工作不安全感和长期绩效：工作不安全感持续时间的关键作用

目的：迄今为止，对工作不安全感与工作绩效之间关系的研究尚无定论。本文的目的是为工作不安全感对工作绩效的影响提供更动态的视角。设计/方法/方法：从认知评估理论，对关键生活事件和压力反应的研究以及围绕时间作用的更广义理论出发，本文提出，个人对工作不安全感的工作绩效反应将随着时间而动态变化。结论：本文采用以人为中心的观点，认为有七个亚人群的个人内部工作绩效变化模式随时间而变化。研究局限/含义：本文介绍了亚人群成员身份的潜在预测因素，并提出了未来研究的议程。原创性/价值：我们通过在工作不安全的情况下为研究工作绩效引入动态视角来为文献做出贡献。作者根据提出的理论论据描述了一系列未解决的问题，作者还希望在工作不安全感和工作绩效的背景下刺激未来的研究。
