Abstract
The current study examined the influence of job insecurity (JI) on employee presenteeism (PT) within the Egyptian hospitality and tourism industry, investigating the mediating role of workaholism (WL) and the moderating effects of paternalistic leadership (PL). Employing Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), the study utilized PLS-SEM to analyze data collected from 374 employees working in hotels and travel agencies in the Greater Cairo region of Egypt by using WarpPLS software V.8. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between job insecurity and both workaholism and presenteeism. Furthermore, workaholism mediated the relationship between job insecurity and presenteeism. Paternalistic leadership moderated this relationship, with authoritarian leadership amplifying the association between job insecurity and presenteeism, while benevolent and moral leadership dampened the relationship between job insecurity and presenteeism. These findings contribute to the understanding of factors influencing presenteeism in the hospitality and tourism sector, providing valuable insights for organizational interventions aimed at enhancing employee well-being and productivity.
