Abstract

Purpose: Scholars argue that supervisor’s job insecurity may affect subordinates’ work engagement. Moreover, this relationship may be mediated by subordinates’ pro-social voice and the relationship between the supervisor’s job insecurity and subordinates’ pro-social voice may be moderated by organizational culture. Therefore, this study has two main objectives. The first objective is to examine the mediating role of the subordinate’s pro-social voice between supervisor’s job insecurity and subordinates’ work engagement. The second objective is to test the moderating role of organizational culture between supervisor's job insecurity and the subordinates’ pro-social voice. Design/methodology/approach: Data were gathered from employees of a large hospital in India using a face to face cross-sectional survey data collection method. To test the proposed hypotheses, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis was performed on the data obtained. Findings: The results indicated support for the proposed model in two ways. First, the subordinate’s pro-social voice mediated the relationship between supervisor’s job insecurity and the subordinate’s work engagement. Second, organizational culture acted as a moderator between supervisor's job insecurity and the subordinate's pro-social voice. Research limitations/implications: The results add to social exchange theory by identifying the crucial role that voicing concerns plays in reducing the negative impact of supervisor’s job insecurity on subordinates’ work engagement. Practical implications: The study findings encourage managers to create an organizational culture that allows subordinates to challenge their supervisor’s decisions. Originality/value: To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first study to test jobinsecurity of the supervisors as a predictor of pro-social voice.

6. Conclusion

The main objective of this study was to understand the role of organizational culture and subordinate’s pro-social voice in affecting the relationship between supervisor’s job insecurity and subordinates’ work engagement. The study results indicated that supervisor’s job insecurity impacts subordinates’ work engagement through subordinate’s pro-social voice. It was also established that organizational culture moderates the relationship between the supervisor’s job insecurity and the subordinate’s pro-social voice. Interestingly, it moderates such that organizational culture strengthens the negative relationship between job insecurity and subordinate’s pro-social voice.
