Job Insecurity as Mediator}, journal={JOEEP: Journal of Emerging Economies and Policy}, volume={10}, pages={114–128}, year={2025}, author={Issa, Nura and Türköz, Tolga}, keywords={Artificial Intelligence (AI) awareness, Job performance, Job insecurity, Human Resources (HR) & Recruitment}, abstract={The scope of the present research is to evaluate the level of Artificial Intelligence (AI) awareness among Human Resources (HR) Recruiters in the Middle East and its impact on their job performance and job insecurity, besides to explore whether job insecurity represents as a mediator in this relationship. The research used correlation, ANOVA and regression tests on data collected from 344 HR Recruiters to assess both direct and mediating relationships between the variables. SPSS 21 program was preferred in the analyses. The findings indicate that job performance had a negative correlation with AI awareness and a positive correlation with job insecurity. AI awareness was found to have a positive effect on job insecurity, and job insecurity was shown to partially mediate the relationship between AI awareness and job performance. This study provides valuable insights and contributes to the field of research on the effects of AI awareness on HR Recruiters’ job insecurity and job performance.}, number={2}, publisher={Seyfettin ERDOĞAN}
