“…et al, 2006;Zapata-Phelan et al, 2009). Informational justice has only rarely been investigated in relation to performance (Schumacher et al, 2020), however the combined dimension of interactional justice (interpersonal and informational justice) has shown promising support for a positive relationship with task performance (Zapata-Phelan et al, 2009). This shows that whilst various studies have consistently found support for the overall relationship between organizational justice and performance (Unterhitzenberger and Bryde, 2019;Mahajan and Benson, 2013;Swalhi et al, 2017), the impact of the individual dimensions is less clear.…”

“…The picture is similarly contradicting for the association between interpersonal justice and task performance, as some studies found significant support for the relationship (Cropanzano et al, 2002; Rupp & Cropanzano, 2002), whereas others did not (Colquitt et al, 2006; Zapata-Phelan et al, 2009). Informational justice has rarely been investigated in relation to performance (Schumacher et al, 2020); however, the combined dimensions of interactional justice (interpersonal and informational justice) have shown promising support for a positive relationship with task performance (Zapata-Phelan et al, 2009).

The impact of behavioral aspects on project success remains an area that requires more attention. Drawing on the social exchange theory (SET), our study tested the mediating role of project citizenship behavior (PCB) in the relationships of all four organizational justice dimensions (i.e., procedural, distributive, informational, and interpersonal justice) with project success. A time-lagged survey of project team members ( n = 233) was conducted and analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that all four organizational justice dimensions are positively associated with project success, whereas informational justice appears to be the most influential dimension, and that PCB mediates all of these relationships. Project managers/sponsors should enact organizational justice and enhance project citizenship to achieve project success.

“…This component of organizational justice can balance the resources lost as a consequence of job insecurity. Schumacher et al (2020) examined how job insecurity relates to job performance based on the Conservation of Resources theory. The authors assumed a reduced impact of job insecurity on employees’ performance when exposed to greater levels of informational justice.…”

Job Insecurity and Job Performance: A Serial Mediated Relationship and the Buffering Effect of Organizational Justice

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study aimed to extend the current knowledge of the relationship between job insecurity and performance. In line with traditional stress theories, work-family and burnout were hypothesized as serial mediators of the negative link between job insecurity and job performance. Also, the current study hypothesized that the association between job insecurity and the mediators [i.e., Work-family conflict (WFC) and burnout] could be buffered by perceived organizational justice among employees. Therefore, we empirically tested a moderated serial mediation model. Participants were 370 employees of an Italian multiservice social cooperative. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The obtained results indicated that WFC and burnout mediated the association between job insecurity and job performance. Furthermore, perceived organizational justice buffered the relationship between job insecurity and WFC. Concerning job burnout, the association with job insecurity was moderated only among employees perceiving medium and high levels of organizational justice. The moderated serial mediation index provided support to the role of organizational justice in decreasing the association between job insecurity and job performance. This study delves deeper into the variables explaining the relationship between job insecurity and job performance by testing a serial process mechanism that involved WFC and burnout. Additionally, the obtained results provide suggestions to organizations and managers regarding the protective role of organizational justice to sustain employees’ mental health and performance. Practical implications at the organizational and managerial level are provided, along with a focus on the actual impact of the pandemic.

“…First, employees experiencing job insecurity have strong intentions to protect their job opportunities, which are valuable resources to them [ 16 , 25 ]. Hence, they will pay more attention and energy to activities that help them maintain employment relationships [ 26 ]. For instance, employees may put effort into specific work to increase their performance in the short run.…”

Job Insecurity and Employees’ Taking Charge Behaviors: Testing a Moderated Mediation Model

Given the rapid changes in current technologies, business models, and work environments, organizations and managers increasingly rely on their employees’ proactive behaviors, such as taking charge, to gain competitive advantages. Taking charge involves a range of risky and future-oriented behaviors, and it requires employees to work hard to achieve them in the future. For employees with high job-insecurity, their job continuity in the future is threatened. Thus, they may not be willing to take risks to do additional work that is “future-oriented”. To our knowledge, the effect of job insecurity on employees’ taking charge has rarely been studied. As a result, the purpose of our study is to investigate whether, how, and when job insecurity will influence taking charge. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory and proactive motivation model, we develop a theoretical model. Moreover, we employed a multi-wave and multi-source survey to test our predictions. Based on the data from 194 full-time employees paired with their direct supervisors, the results provided consistent support for the proposed hypotheses. Specifically, the results indicate that job insecurity prohibits employees’ taking charge behaviors through deteriorating their work engagement. Furthermore, employees’ perception of interactional justice moderates the negative influence of job insecurity on their work engagement and, consequently, their taking charge behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
