The study is conducted to examine how COVID-19 is reflected in job performance and job satisfaction in terms of the sustainability of occupational health and safety of workers especially white-collar workers, in enterprises due to the pandemic.<br><strong>Methods<\/strong><br>The study was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional type. Data were collected from the employees in the designated factories by creating an online form using the \u201cCOVID-19 Phobia Scale\u201d, \u201cEmployee Performance Scale\u201d, and \u201cJob Satisfaction Scale\u201d.<br><strong>Results<\/strong><br>The findings obtained in the study showed a significant positive relationship between employee performance and job satisfaction.It was determined that job satisfaction and employee performance had a significant but weak relationship with COVID-19 phobia.<br><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><br>The findings expand previous studies by filling the lack of knowledge on how job performance and job satisfaction have effected at workplace during a pandemic. The study data show that job performance and job satisfaction in workplace employees affect each other and that both are affected by unexpected or extraordinary situations such as pandemics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Serap-KOCAK.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hatice Serap KO\u00c7AK1, Ecem \u00c7\u0130\u00c7EK G\u00dcM\u00dc\u015e2*, Derya \u00c7EV\u0130K TA\u015eDEM\u0130R3 Gaziantep University, Faculty of Health Science, Departments of Public Health Nursing \u015eehitkamil\/Gaziantep, Turkey University of Bart\u0131n, Faculty of Health Science, Departments of Public Health Nursing, Merkez\/Bart\u0131n Gaziantep University, O\u011fuzeli Vocational School, Department of Management and Organization *Corresponding Author: Ecem \u00c7\u0130\u00c7EK G\u00dcM\u00dc\u015e; E-mail:egumus@bartin.edu.tr , ecem8986@hotmail.com AbstractBackgroundThe mass [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[128],"tags":[66],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13040"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13040"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13041,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13040\/revisions\/13041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mmj.mw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
