Abstract

Job insecurity is a term that is a major stressor among various departments across the globe. Job insecurity construct is validated across the western world, but to date, this field is neglected in a Pakistani work context. The current study tries to analyse the psychometric characteristics of the job insecurity scale across different organisation setups (namely higher education institutions, private primary and secondary education sector). For this purpose, data were obtained from the sample of (N = 950) of the organisation mentioned above through the survey. CFA and EFA results show that JIS consists of two factors (affective and cognitive dimensions) in the Pakistan work context. The result through hierarchal regression shows that JIS is negatively related to emotional exhaustion, normative and affective commitment, while positively related to physical and mental health complaints. Recommendations for further research are expressed at the end of the research work.
