Abstract

Research indicates job insecurity (JI) is related to lower job satisfaction, partially mediated by psychological contract breach (PCB; a perceived breaking of the implicit exchange relationship between employer and employee). The authors investigated the extent to which providing a positive organizational learning climate (OLC) might attenuate the relationships between (a) qualitative JI and PCB and (b) PCB and job satisfaction. Using cross-sectional survey data from higher education industry employees within the US ( N = 372), South Africa ( N = 1096), and Croatia ( N = 719), the study found consistent results across all three settings. Qualitative JI was negatively associated with job satisfaction both directly and indirectly via PCB. Although a positive OLC did not attenuate the relationship between JI and PCB, it did buffer the relationship between PCB and job satisfaction. The findings are discussed in light of Conservation of Resources theory and the need to identify practical organizational interventions to alleviate the adverse effects of qualitative JI.

关注工作不安全感与工作满意度之间的关系：对三个国家组织学习氛围作用的考察

研究表明，工作不安全感（JI）与工作满意度下降有关，部分是由心理契约破裂（PCB；雇主和雇员之间隐性交换关系的感知破裂）介导的。作者调查了提供积极的组织学习氛围（OLC）可能在多大程度上削弱（a）质量的联合执行与多氯联苯和（b）多氯联苯与工作满意度之间的关系。该研究使用了来自美国（N=372）、南非（N=1096）和克罗地亚（N=719）高等教育行业员工的横断面调查数据，发现这三个国家的结果一致。通过多氯联苯，定性联合执行与工作满意度直接或间接呈负相关。虽然积极的OLC并没有削弱JI与PCB之间的关系，但它确实缓冲了PCB与工作满意度之间的关系。研究结果是根据资源保护理论和确定切实可行的组织干预措施以减轻定性联合执行的不利影响的必要性进行讨论的。

期刊介绍： Economic and Industrial Democracy is an international peer reviewed journal that focuses on the study of initiatives designed to enhance the quality of working life through extending the democratic control of workers over the workplace and the economy. How those initiatives are affected by wider political, economic and technological factors are also of interest. Special emphasis is laid on international coverage of empirical material, including discussions of the social and economic conditions in various countries.
