This study investigates the effect of academics' fear of Covid 19 on job performance. In addition, it is among the sub-objectives of the research to investigate whether the fear of Covid 19 and job performance differ according to some demographic variables. For this purpose, the data were obtained from 304 academicians working at a state university. Regression analysis was performed to investigate the effect between variables. In order to determine the differences according to demographic characteristics, a one-way analysis of variance was performed with the independent sample t-test. As a result of the research, it was determined that the fear of Covid 19 in academicians did not significantly affect work performance. Other research results are that the fear of Covid 19 is more in female academicians and that job performance increases as the age increases. Although there are studies investigating the relationship between fear of Covid 19 and work performance in the domestic literature, the absence of a study on academics increases the importance of the research.
