The current study addresses the measurement of the mediating effect of performance pressure and the moderating effect of coping in the relationship between workplace gossip and job performance among the faculty members at Zagazig University. Based on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, Social Processing Theory, Social Information Processing (SIP) theory, Social Exchange Theory (SET), and Stress Coping Theory, the researchers developed the research model. The measurement model and research hypotheses were then tested using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) method on online survey data from 300 respondents. The results revealed that negative gossip negatively affects job performance and positively influences performance pressure. Additionally, the findings indicated that performance pressure mediates the relationship between negative gossip and job performance. Coping plays a positive moderating role in the relationship between performance pressure and job performance. The study also offers a comprehensive insight into how the faculties of Zagazig University can utilize organizational gossip to create performance pressures that enhance job performance. The study emphasizes the importance of faculty members at Zagazig University consciously analyzing workplace conditions, encouraging them to make greater efforts to leverage organizational gossip in generating performance pressures that lead to higher levels of job performance among the faculty members at the university.
