Summary: | In this study, we develop a conceptual model of the relationship between job insecurity and job performance, which is mediated by affective organizational commitment and moderated via perceived organizational support in a Chilean company that has undergone downsizing. In this cross-sectional study, we focused on 400 Chilean employees from the retail sector. Our findings indicate that job insecurity negatively influences job performance, which is a relationship that is partially mediated by effective organizational commitment. Moreover, a high level of perceived organizational support helped intensify the effects of the relationship between job insecurity and affective organizational commitment. To minimize the negative effects of job insecurity on the active employees of a downsizing strategy, an effective intervention is required by developing a more realistic communication in terms of a worker's expectations toward the organization. KEYWORDS | Downsizing, job insecurity, job performance, affective organizational commitment, perceived organizational support. Este trabajo presenta el desarrollo de un modelo conceptual de la relacion entre la inseguridad laboral y el desempeno laboral mediado por el compromiso organizacional afectivo y moderado por el apoyo organizacional percibido en una empresa chilena que ha sufrido un proceso de reduccion de personal. Este estudio se basa en un diseno cross-sectional en una muestra de 400 trabajadores chilenos del sector minorista. Nuestros resultados senalan que la inseguridad laboral influye negativamente en el desempeno laboral; efecto que a su vez es mediado parcialmente por el compromiso organizacional afectivo. Ademas, se encontro que es probable que un alto nivel de apoyo organizacional percibido intensifique los efectos de la relacion entre la inseguridad laboral y el compromiso organizacional afectivo. Con el fin de minimizar los efectos negativos de la inseguridad laboral en una estrategia de reduccion de personal, se sugiere una intervencion eficaz en los trabajadores sobrevivientes mediante el desarrollo de una comunicacion mas realista en terminos de expectativas del trabajador hacia la organizacion. PALABRAS CLAVE | Reduccion de personal, inseguridad laboral, desempeno laboral, compromiso organizacional afectivo, apoyo organizacional percibido. Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um modelo conceitual da relacao entre a inseguranca laboral e o desempenho laboral, mediada pelo comprometimento organiza |
