The main objective of the study was to analyze the impact of motivation and job security on employee performance. For this purpose, the study adopted positivist philosophy and deductive approach due to the quantitative nature of the study. To analyze the impact, the study adopted a conclusive research design. Based on the design of the study, the study collected data on a self-constructed multifactor questionnaire. The sample population was 250 employees. To assess the reliability of the instrument, a reliability test was carried out on a pilot sample of 30 to check whether or not the instrument is reliable. The results of reliability statistics revealed that the instrument is valid. Afterward, data was collected from 250 employees of HBL (Ltd). Once, all the data has been collected, PA of SEM has been applied to examine the causal relationship among the motivation, JS, and EP. The outcomes of the study revealed a significant positive impact of both motivation and job security on employee performance. From the results, it has been observed that comparatively, job security affects employee performance more than motivation.
