Insecurity and Injustice at Work: Role of Psychological Empowerment and Supervisor Support to Enhance Employee Commitment.

Abstract

In the banking industry of twin cities in Pakistan, this study explores the influence of job insecurity and organizational injustice on employee commitment, with the moderating effect of psychological empowerment and supervisor support. Job insecurity and organizational injustice were employed as independent variables in this study. The moderators are psychological empowerment and supervisor support. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is employee commitment. However, the banking industry of Pakistan's twin cities was chosen to explore the relationship between the variables listed above. Primary data is obtained by an adopted structured questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale, which is a quantitative research method. The responses were collected using a convenience sample technique from 300 respondents (workers in the banking industry of twin cities in Pakistan). Using SPSS Software, the responses are examined using statistical tests (such as correlation, regression, and moderation analysis). The findings show that job insecurity and organizational injustice have a negative impact on employee commitment in the banking sector of Pakistan's twin cities. In the banking sector of twin cities in Pakistan, moderation analysis revealed a significant moderating effect of psychological empowerment and supervisor support in the relationship between job insecurity and organizational injustice (independent variables) and employee commitment (dependent variable). According to the findings of the study, an increase in job insecurity and organizational injustice leads to a significant decline in employee commitment in the banking industry of Pakistan's twin cities. The findings also show that changes in psychological empowerment and supervisor support affect the link between job insecurity and organizational injustice (independent factors) and employee commitment (dependent variable) in Pakistan's banking sector.
