Job Insecurity, Commitment and Job Satisfaction

IMPACT Job Insecurity

The emergence of a reaction in the form of attitudes, turnover intentions, organizational commitment and job satisfaction were reduced on the perception of job insecurity (Ashford et al., 1989; Rosenblatt and Ruvio, 1996, in Wening, (2005) Chirumbolo (2005) found that job insecurity is correlated negative to positive performance and attendance.


Greenhalgh (2000) in Greenglass, Burke and Fiksenbaum, (2002) attempted to test the effects of job insecurity on work commitment and work behavior. From the results of this study showed that employees who can get through or past the stage of insecurity, shows that the lower the commitment to work from time to time (the Kurniasari, 2005).

Rosenblatt and Ruvio (1996) states that the conditions of job insecurity ultimately have a negative effect on organizational commitment and job performance of employees (in Yousef, 1998: 183-184). Pasewark research results and Strawser (1996) showed that job insecurity is one of the factors that cause a person to choose to survive with his job or not.
