This study wants to examine effects of job insecurity on several work-related outcomes (perceived work-related symptoms, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions) by developing a moderated mediation model. The model emphasizes the role played by the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) in mediating the relation between perceived job insecurity and outcomes related to work, and the moderating role of perceived organizational support (POS) in influencing the mediation. Survey data from 510 workers at Italian organizations were collected, and regression was used to evaluate the hypotheses. After age, gender, education, and organizational tenure were controlled, results showed that perceived quality of LMX carried the effect of job insecurity on all outcomes, and that this relationship was stronger for employees who reported higher levels of POS. This study makes important theoretical and practical contributions to job insecurity, LMX, and POS research, underlining the importance of promoting the leader-member relationship's quality in an ethical and supportive work environment.
本研究旨在通过构建一个有调节的中介模型，考察工作不安全感对几种与工作相关的结果（感知到的与工作相关的症状、工作满意度和离职意向）的影响。该模型强调领导-成员交换（LMX）质量在中介感知到的工作不安全感与工作相关结果之间关系中所起的作用，以及感知到的组织支持（POS）在影响这种中介作用方面的调节作用。收集了来自意大利组织的510名员工的调查数据，并使用回归分析来评估假设。在控制了年龄、性别、教育程度和组织任期后，结果表明，LMX的感知质量传递了工作不安全感对所有结果的影响，并且对于报告较高水平POS的员工来说，这种关系更强。本研究对工作不安全感、LMX和POS研究做出了重要的理论和实践贡献，强调了在道德和支持性的工作环境中提升领导-成员关系质量的重要性。
