Overall, the result shows that the employees’ job security in a multi-ethnic environment significantly influences organisational performance. The finding has a practical implication for both employees and the organisations in the way organisations use employees job security as a way of enhancing or maintaining organisational performance. It contributes by providing a unique insight about employee’s job security in a multi-ethnic environment.
