ENTRAPMENT OF PERMANENTLY EMPLOYED EMPLOYEES : PRECARIOUS WORK BEHAVIOR , ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE AND PERCEIVED ORGANISATIONAL SUPPORT

Abstract

Mounting research evidence suggests that permanently employed employees are increasingly involved in precarious work behavior. This new trend of employment has provoked researchers to center their attention to the reasons leading to this precarity. With regard to this, we hypothesized that organizational justice and perceived organizational support are negatively related to precarious work behavior. Using online survey data on employees who are permanently employed but concurrently doing side business, a cross sectional sample of 179 was gathered. The results found that organizational justice and perceived organizational support are negatively related to precarious work behavior with organizational justice having the greater influence. Implications for future research and practical applications are discussed.
