Apart from physical health problems, the COVID-19 outbreak also affected psychological health, causing extreme fear of this pandemic. Thus, this study aims to investigate the relationship between nurse performance and the fear of COVID-19 mediated by job insecurity and job satisfaction with conservation of resources theory as the lens. Data from 260 nurses were collected through an online structured questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling-partial least squares. The direct effect findings show that COVID-19 fear influences job insecurity (p < 0.05) but does not influence job satisfaction and nurse performance (p > 0.05). Besides, job insecurity significantly influences job satisfaction and nurse performance (p < 0.05). On the other hand, job satisfaction has no effect on nurse performance (p > 0.05). Then, the indirect effect results show that job insecurity fully mediates the influence of COVID-19 fear on job satisfaction and nurse performance (p < 0.05). Likewise, job satisfaction partially mediates the influence of job insecurity on nurse performance (p < 0.05) but does not mediate the fear of COVID-19 on nurse performance (p > 0.05). These findings provide evidence that the fear of COVID-19 plays an essential role for job insecurity, influencing job satisfaction and nurse performance. These results can develop strategies for better human resource management in nursing staff and provide pragmatic insight into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As financial intermediary institutions, banks operate in a dynamic and complex environment influenced by internal and external factors and various risks that impact their financial performance. This study aims to examine the influence of bank-specific and macroeconomic variables that affect credit risk and Indonesian conventional commercial banks’ financial performance. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze time series data from quarter 1993 to quarter 2023. This analysis covers conventional commercial banks registered in Indonesia, namely Bank Mandiri, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Bank Negara Indonesia, and Bank Tabungan Negara. The results of the study indicate that conventional commercial banks in Indonesia can manage their specific variables effectively so that financial performance increases and non-performing loans decrease. In addition, the stability of economic conditions contributes to an increase in the volume of available loans, allowing commercial banks to earn higher income from loan interest. Therefore, the banking sector can benefit from some recommendations made in this study, especially concerning conventional commercial banks in Indonesia.
