Abstract

This study investigated the combined effects of national culture and perceptions of employability on relationships between job insecurity and work and non-work outcomes for individual employees. Data from 28,674 participants in 35 nations were obtained from the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey. Results showed that nation-level differences in individualism/collectivism (I/C), uncertainty avoidance (UA), and masculinity/femininity (M/F) accounted for variation in the degree to which perceptions of employability buffered the negative effects of job insecurity on job satisfaction, work engagement, and subjective well-being. Among more collectivist cultures, employability did less to minimize the effects of job insecurity on job satisfaction than in more individualistic cultures. Employability also had a weaker effect on buffering the consequences of job insecurity for job satisfaction and work engagement when cultural uncertainty avoidance was higher. And across all three outcome measures, higher levels of job insecurity combined with lower perceptions of employability were consistently more detrimental to individuals in more masculine cultures. Results support the prevailing theory regarding the mechanisms underlying the effects of job insecurity on individuals and suggest several important practical implications for managing a global workforce.

民族文化价值观对工作不安全感与就业能力交互作用的调节作用研究

本研究调查了民族文化和就业能力观念对个体员工工作不安全感与工作和非工作结果之间关系的综合影响。来自35个国家28674名参与者的数据来自2015年欧洲工作条件调查。结果表明，个人主义/集体主义（I/C）、不确定性回避（UA）和男性气质/女性气质（M/F）在国家层面的差异解释了对就业能力的感知在多大程度上缓冲了工作不安全感对工作满意度、工作敬业度和主观幸福感的负面影响。在更集体主义的文化中，与更个人主义的文化相比，就业能力在最大限度地减少工作不安全感对工作满意度的影响方面做得更少。当文化不确定性规避率较高时，就业能力在缓冲工作不安全对工作满意度和工作参与度的影响方面也较弱。在所有三项结果测量中，较高的工作不安全感加上较低的就业能力，对男性文化中的个人来说始终更有害。研究结果支持了关于工作不安全对个人影响的机制的主流理论，并对管理全球劳动力提出了一些重要的实际意义。

期刊介绍： Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
