Abstract

Job insecurity is the threat of job loss or job uncertainty which accounts as a stressor that causes job dissatisfaction. In view of this, the study examined job insecurity on employees performance with mediating role of perceived organisational support among selected stockbroking firms in Lagos State, Nigeria with the objective of examining the relationship between employment contract and employee performance; investigating the relationship between job insecurity and employees’ performance; assessing the relationship between perceived organisational support and employees’ performance; and examining the effect of job insecurity and perceived organisational support on employees’ performance. One hundred and fifty-eight questionnaires were duly completed and returned. PPMCC was used in testing and analysing the stated hypothesis. Findings from the study revealed that there is a negative relationship between job insecurity and employee performance, findings further showed that perceived organisational support significantly mediate the effect of job insecurity and employee performance. The study concluded that employees can only deliver optimally if there is adequate job security which guarantees employee a future on their job and constant provision of organisational support from management in managing employee differences not minding their gender or cultural orientations. Therefore, management should put in place a support system and mechanism for ensuring retention of younger and qualified employees and developing a culture that promotes employee welfare.
