Job insecurity and performance. The mediating role of organizational identification
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to extend knowledge about theoretical explanations of the job insecurity-performance relationship. Specifically, the authors examine how and why job insecurity is negatively associated with task and contextual performance (i.e. organizational citizenship behavior) and whether organizational identification may account for these relationships. Design/methodology/approach – The mediational hypotheses were examined using structural equation modeling in a heterogeneous sample of Italian employees.
