"Job insecurity sering diasumsikan dapat menurunkan tingkat kepuasan kerja. Sekalipun demikian, beberapa studi sebelumnya gagal menemukan hubungan yang pasti antara job insecurity dan kepuasan kerja. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa hubungan kedua variabel tersebut mungkin dimoderasi oleh variabel lain. Dua variabel penting yang berpotensi menjelaskan hubungan job insecurity dan kepuasan kerja adalah employability ? yang didefinisikan sebagai persepsi karyawan terhadap kemampuannya untuk mencari pekerjaan baru atau tetap bekerja di pekerjaannya saat ini ? dan status kepegawaian (yaitu karyawan tetap vs. kontrak). Penelitian ini berhipotesis bahwa employability dapat memoderasi hubungan job insecurity dan kepuasan kerja pada karyawan tetap maupun karyawan kontrak. Untuk menguji hipotesa, dilakukan penelitian cross-sectional terhadap 172 karyawan ? yang terdiri dari karyawan tetap dan kontrak, di suatu perusahaan jasa logistik di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa employability dapat memoderasi hubungan antara job insecurity dan kepuasan kerja pada karyawan tetap, tetapi tidak pada karyawan kontrak. Naskah ini juga mendiskusikan wawasan dan pemahaman teoritis yang baru terkait hubungan job insecurity dan kepuasan kerja.

Job insecurity is often thought to cause lower job satisfaction. However, research shows that the relationship between these two variables is more complicated than previously assumed. Previous studies fail to provide conclusive results, which indicate that the relationships between job insecurity and job satisfaction may be moderated by other variables. Two variables that can explainthis relationship are employability, defined as employees? perception of their abilities to find a new job, and work status differences (i.e., permanent and contract employees). Therefore, this study hypothesizes that employability will moderate the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction for, both, permanent and contract employees. Adapting scales from previous research, this study conducted a cross-sectional survey of 172 employees, comprised of permanent and contract employees, of a logistic services company in Indonesia. Results reveal that employability moderates the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction among permanent but not contract employees. This paper also discusses the implication of these results for the advancement of organizational behavior theory, especially for understanding the impact of job insecurity on job satisfaction."

"Reformation in Indonesian government offices leads to many substantial changes, and demandsimproved job performances while arguably loading employees with more work. This research aimsto understand factors that potentially influence job performance in Indonesian government officesthat carries on such reformation. Using adapted scales from previous studies, this researchinvestigates the role of workload, responsibility for others (level of responsibility to care for otherpeople) and need for achievement on employee?s performance. A survey to all full-time workers inan Indonesian government office is conducted. Contrary to expectation, workload does not influenceemployee?s performance. Instead, regression analysis demonstrates that, employee?s need forachievement and responsibility for others are significant factors affecting individual performance.These results are important because they highlight the significance of need for achievement for thesuccess of reformation in this office, and by extension for reformation in Indonesia. The results arealso interesting because this is the first study that points out to the role of responsibility for others ininfluencing individual performance in Indonesia which is characterized by collectivistic culture. Thispaper discusses the contributions of these results for theory and practice."
