Abstract

Abstract: The early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic were a time of great job insecurity. Knowledge of how such feelings of insecurity were mitigated during a time of crisis has important implications for the development of future interventions. Drawing from uncertainty management theory (UMT), we explored the impact of informational justice perceptions on the effects of job insecurity in a sample collected during the early stages of the pandemic (March–May 2020). The findings indicated that informational justice buffered the impacts of job insecurity on employee life satisfaction and perceived ability to perform. Furthermore, the source of information regarding COVID-19-related job changes mattered for predicting informational justice perceptions. Our findings bolster UMT and have important practical implications for future times of crisis.

COVID-19大流行早期的信息公正、组织沟通和工作不安全感
摘要:新冠肺炎大流行的早期阶段是一个工作非常不安全的时期。了解在危机时期如何减轻这种不安全感,对制定未来干预措施具有重要意义。根据不确定性管理理论(UMT),我们在疫情早期(2020年3月至5月)收集的样本中探讨了信息正义观念对工作不安全影响的影响。研究结果表明,信息公平缓冲了工作不安全感对员工生活满意度和感知执行能力的影响。此外,与COVID-19相关的工作变动的信息来源对于预测信息正义观念至关重要。我们的研究结果支持UMT,并对未来的危机时期具有重要的现实意义。
