| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores the effect of perceived job insecurity on employees’ turnover intention during the global pandemic. A conceptual model was developed and tested with data collected from 398 faculty members in higher educational institutions in Southern India. After checking the instrument’s psychometric properties using structural equation modelling, the hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression. The results indicate that three dimensions of job insecurity—the perceived threat to job features, the perceived threat to total job and the feeling of powerlessness—are positively associated with turnover intentions of faculty members. The results also reveal that age and gender moderated the relationship between (a) perceived threat to total job and turnover intention and (b) feeling of powerlessness and turnover intention. This study recommends that administrators not underestimate the perils of perceived job insecurity in terms of turnover intentions and steps need to be taken to ensure that employees feel safe and continue to work. This study highlights a simple fact: If adequate steps are not taken, crises like the global pandemic may adversely affect organisations. |
