Organizations value their employees on the bases of their performance; several factors can influence that performance. Job embeddedness looks into the On-the-job and Off-the-job factors that influence an employee to stay in the organization. This research looks into the Health Ministry of Honduras, from the standpoint of the relationship between Job Embeddedness and Employee Performance, looking into how the type of employment relationship moderates that relationship. Job Embeddedness is divided into Embeddedness and Off-the-job Embeddedness and employee performance is divided into Task Performance and Contextual Performance. The sample for this research were the employees at the central level of organization of the Honduras Health Ministry. A quantitative method through the distribution of survey questionnaires was designed to obtain the required data and test the relationship between the Job Embeddedness and Employee Performance variables, as well as testing the moderating effect of the type of employment relationship within the organization. A total of 297 employees participated in the study. IBM SPSS and AMOS were used to test hypotheses through correlation analysis, path analysis and multi-group comparison. Results for this study showed a positive impact of On-the-job Embeddedness on both Task and Contextual Performance, a negative impact of Off-the-job Embeddedness on both Task and Contextual Performance was also found. When studying the moderating effect of the type of employment relationship, results show that fixed term contract employees have a significantly stronger effect than permanent employees on the relationship between job embeddedness and employee performance, with the exception of the path between On-the-job Embeddedness and Contextual Performance.
