Abstract
Due to the nature of the insurance industry, it is necessary to explore factors that can influence job performance. To understand how psychological safety can enhance the performance of employees in the insurance industry, the present study examines the role of organizational communication and organizational learning. This study used a structural equation model of a questionnaire for analysis. The results show that job performance is directly affected by psychological safety and organizational learning. Organizational communication, however, only affects job performance indirectly through organizational learning. The results of the mediation analysis show that, in addition to the effect of psychological safety through organizational learning, psychological safety also promotes the learning behavior of employees through organizational communication, enhancing job performance.
Key words: Psychological Safety, Organizational Communication, Organizational Learning, Job Performance, Insurance Industries
