Abstract

Performance have positive or negative consequences for the organization and therefore

scholars are widely interested in investigating the individual and organizational factors that affect it.

Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate the impact of perceived workload and coworker loafing on

job performance. It is proposed that the perception of workload and coworker loafing will negatively

influence job performance. The results showed that perceived coworker loafing is negatively associated

with job performance. Surprisingly, the results provide no empirical evidence in support of the negative

relationship between perceived workload and job performance.

Keywords
