A test of a multidimensional model of job insecurity: the case of Israeli teachers
以以色列教师为样本，基于工会化和基布兹隶属关系划分四种雇佣类型，验证了工作不安全感的多维模型，发现工作不安全感对组织承诺、绩效、支持感、离职意愿和变革抗拒有负面影响。
The research reported here adopted a multidimensional approach to studying job insecurity, using Israeli teachers as a case in point. Based on two determinants of job insecurity—unionization and kibbutz affiliation—four distinct employment types were identified: unionized city teachers, unionized kibbutz members, unionized kibbutz hirees, and non-unionized personal contract teachers. The a priori job insecurity status of the four employment types matched the subjective reports of these teachers, supporting the external validity of the job insecurity scale used. The study explored the effect of job insecurity on work attitudes. Results indicated that job insecurity had an adverse effect on organizational commitment, perceived performance, perceived organizational support, intention to quit and resistance to change, supporting predictions in related literature. The results of this study have implications on the management of job insecurity in changing environments.
