An Integrative Review of Moderators Attenuating or Exacerbating Negative Outcomes of Job Insecurity
这篇综述梳理了影响工作不安全感负面结果的调节因素,从个体、组织和社会三个层面分类,并基于五种理论视角解释其作用机制,帮助研究者识别研究空白和未来方向。
Job insecurity is a lasting and pervasive issue in the modern workplace. Given the extensive body of research highlighting the detrimental effects of job insecurity, it is imperative to explore factors that may either buffer against or amplify these negative outcomes. This review identifies and discusses five primary theoretical perspectives commonly used in existing research to explain the moderating effects of job insecurity: resource-threatening, appraisal, social-exchange, identity-threatening, and uncertainty reduction. Additionally, I categorize a wide array of moderators across three levels—individual, organizational, and societal—each with three subcategories. I summarize research findings within each category based on the theoretical perspectives, explore competing predictions from different perspectives, and highlight how quantitative job insecurity and qualitative job insecurity may activate the same or different moderators with varying effects. The review concludes with a comprehensive summary of overall findings, addressing the issues of research saturation and redundancy, the lack of replication studies, the jangle fallacy, and research gaps and future research directions.
