From the perspective of East-West differences in stress experiences, the current study explored: 1) the associations among job insecurity, work attitudes (job satisfaction) and behaviors (job performance); and 2) the possible moderating effect of affective organizational commitment on the above relationships among employees in the Greater China region. Using structured questionnaires, a diverse sample of 380 full-time employees drawn from a variety of organizations in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China was surveyed. We found that job insecurity was negatively associated with work attitudes and behaviors among employees from the three sub-regions of the Greater China area. Furthermore, while taking sub-cultural differences into account, we found that affective organizational commitment exacerbated the negative impact of job insecurity on job performance in the Hong Kong sample, but mitigated that of in the Beijing sample. It is thus recommended that more research is needed to investigate the strain-strain relationship with other non-Western samples, with special attention to possible sub-cultural differences which may play a crucial role in the work stress process. |
