The Relationship between Perceived Job Insecurity, Organization-Based-Self-Esteem, and Psychological Well-Being among employees

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the relationships between perceived job insecurity (PJI), organization-based self-esteem (OBSE), and psychological well-being (PWB) among employees in India. It also investigates the mediating and moderating roles of OBSE in these relationships. Using a correlational research design, data were collected from 200–250 professionals through validated scales, including the Job Insecurity Scale (JIS), Organization-Based Self-Esteem Scale (OBSE), and WHO-5 Well-Being Index. The findings suggest that OBSE mediates the relationship between PJI and PWB, indicating that self-esteem in the workplace mitigates the negative effects of job insecurity. However, OBSE does not significantly moderate the relationship between PWB and job outcomes. The study highlights the importance of OBSE in organizational settings and provides implications for HR interventions aimed at reducing the adverse impact of job insecurity on employee well-being.
