Abstract

Purpose: Numerous empirical studies consistently support the detrimental impact of job insecurity (JI) on employees. However, a new perspective suggests that individuals perceiving JI may proactively take measures to protect their positions. Drawing from the conservation of resources theory, this study argues that perceived resource loss due to JI motivates employees to engage in ingratiating behaviors for expanding their social capital. Additionally, this study empirically establishes the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and the moderating effect of power distance.
Methods: A daily diary design was used to examine the relationship between daily JI and next-day ingratiation. Our analyses of data collected from 134 full‐time employees across 10 consecutive working days using multi-level model.
Results: Our results showed that daily JI was found to affect next-day ingratiation (γ = 0.14, p < 0.01), and this relationship was mediated by emotional exhaustion (indirect effect = 0.07, p < 0.05, 95% CI [0.01, 0.13]). Power distance moderated the relationship between emotional exhaustion and ingratiation (γ = 0.25, p < 0.001), and further moderated the indirect effect of JI on ingratiation via emotional exhaustion.
Conclusion: Our study has revealed that JI serves as a catalyst for employees to engage in resource creation behavior, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the implications of JI as an independent variable for both scholars and businesses.

Keywords: job insecurity, emotional exhaustion, power distance, ingratiation

日常工作的不安全感如何与次日的亲和力相关联：情绪耗竭和权力距离取向的作用

目的：大量实证研究一致支持工作不稳定（JI）对员工的不利影响。然而，一种新的观点认为，感知到工作不稳定的个人可能会主动采取措施保护自己的职位。本研究从资源保护理论出发，认为因工作不稳定而导致的感知到的资源损失会促使员工参与讨好行为，以扩大其社会资本。此外，本研究还通过实证研究确定了情绪耗竭的中介作用和权力距离的调节作用：方法：采用每日日记的设计来研究每日联合行动与次日亲近行为之间的关系。我们使用多层次模型对 134 名全职员工连续 10 个工作日的数据进行了分析：结果表明，每日联合工作会影响第二天的亲和力（γ = 0.14，p <0.01），这种关系受到情绪衰竭的调节（间接效应 = 0.07，p <0.05，95% CI [0.01，0.13]）。权力距离调节了情感衰竭与亲和力之间的关系（γ = 0.25，p <0.001），并通过情感衰竭进一步调节了联合执行对亲和力的间接影响：我们的研究揭示了联合工作是员工参与资源创造行为的催化剂，从而有助于学者和企业更深入地理解联合工作作为一个自变量的意义。
