Abstract

Although job insecurity has attracted many scholars for long time, the research of job insecurity has not been accumulated because of nonexistence of and comprehensive and systematic model on job insecurity. This study, therefore, has provided integrated model of job insecurity and has also generated important propositions of job insecurity. This study aims to design the antecedents and consequences(outcomes) of job insecurity of employees. First, we have postulated important hypothesis based on the existing literatures. Second, we have tested hypothesis by the comprehensive review of existing local empirical studies. Third we have provided underlying logics of designing integrated model of job insecurity. And we have also generated Important propositions underlying the model focusing on job insecurity. We propose that employees' job insecurity increase with their expectation about further organizational change, role ambiguity. We also propose that employees' job insecurity raise their psychological strain while reducing their organizational commitment, job satisfaction and work effort. Theoretical implications are discussed, as are the implications of study and suggestions for future research.

외환금융위기 이후 구조조정에 의한 고용불안이 사회적 이슈가 되면서 90년대 후반부터 고용불안정에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 계속되어 왔다. 그러나 대부분의 국내 연구들은 가설검증에 의한 개별적인 연구결과를 제시하고 있을 뿐 포괄적이고 체계적인 연구는 이루어지지 못하였는 바, 이는 고용불안정 연구를 위한 통합모형이 개발되지 못하였기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행연구로부터 고용불안정에 관한 제 가설을 설정하고, 이들 가설에 대한 국내실증연구결과를 면밀하게 분석하여 고용불안정의 선행요인 및 결과에 관한 명제를 도출하고 통합모형을 제시하였다.
