The modern workforce is comprised of an increasing percentage of individuals who are worried about their financial situation because they are afraid that their earnings will not be adequate to maintain a reasonable standard of living. While financial anxiety is acknowledged to be a pervasive stressor, surprisingly little is known about the effects of financial anxiety on prized organizational outcomes, such as performance. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we posit that financial anxiety will be associated with performance, via emotional exhaustion, and that this indirect relationship will be moderated by perceptions of internal employability, evidencing first-stage moderation. Using data collected in three waves from 434 respondents, respondents' supervisor, and a co-worker, we found support for a conditional indirect effect. Specifically, the indirect influence of financial anxiety on performance (task, contextual, and counterproductive) via emotional exhaustion was moderated by perceived internal employability, such that the indirect relationship became progressively weaker at increasing levels of perceived internal employability. We discuss implications for theory, research, and practice.

现代劳动力中越来越多的人担心自己的财务状况，因为他们担心自己的收入不足以维持合理的生活水平。虽然财务焦虑被认为是一种普遍的压力源，但令人惊讶的是，财务焦虑对重要的组织成果（例如绩效）的影响知之甚少。借鉴资源守恒理论，我们假设财务焦虑将通过情绪衰竭与绩效相关联，并且这种间接关系将通过对内部就业能力的看法得到缓和，这证明了第一阶段的缓和。使用从 434 名受访者、受访者的主管和一名同事分三波收集的数据，我们发现支持有条件的间接影响。具体来说，财务焦虑通过情绪耗竭对绩效（任务、情境和适得其反）的间接影响被感知的内部就业能力所缓和，因此随着感知内部就业能力水平的提高，间接关系变得越来越弱。我们讨论对理论、研究和实践的影响。
