Abstract

This study examines the relationship between public employees’ organizational tenure and perceived performance in US federal agencies. Using the US Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey and Fedscope from 2010 to 2018 and panel Fixed Effect analysis, we found that the organizational tenure of US federal employees has an inverted U-shaped relationship to performance. The research results also show that gender and minority status moderate the effect of organizational tenure on performance in US federal agencies. Our findings offer important insights regarding how organizational tenure works in public organizations.
