Abstract: This research tested a model of the antecedents and consequences of job insecurity. A sample of 276 lower, middle, and senior level managers were surveyed. Four principal questions were addressed: (1) What are the antecedents of job insecurity? (2) What is the influence of moderator variables upon the antecedents--job insecurity relationship? (3) How is job insecurity related to consequences? (4) Does job insecurity mediate between antecedents and consequences of job insecurity? Role ambiguity and environmental conditions were found to be antecedent to job insecurity. Locus of control was found to moderate the antecedents--job insecurity relationship. Job insecurity was found to be positively related to job search behavior and negatively related to organizational commitment and organizational trust. It was also found that job insecurity partially mediates the relationship between its antecedents and consequences in two of three models that were tested.
