This study examines the relationship between job rotation and job performance in the Higher Education Institutions of Malakand division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, with the moderating effect of social support. For the data collection, the researcher used Simple random sampling to distribute the self-administered questionnaire among the 235 academician members. The data was analyzed using statistical tools through SPSS for the study's final results. It has been found that job rotation, job performance, and social support are positively correlated, indicating that rotation can enhance employee performance when coworkers support the employee. Furthermore, social support moderates the relationship between job rotation and employee performance in HEIs. Academicians can learn about study results from the university by supporting them and providing limitations and recommendations at the end of the study.
