Abstract

Background: Human resources are the primary driving force of an organization, and employee attendance represents one form of organizational commitment, reflecting an employee’s willingness to remain within the organization. One factor that may influence this commitment is job insecurity, referring to employees concerns about the continuity of their employment. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between job insecurity and organizational commitment among employees of Agency X in Jambi Province. Methods: Using a quantitative correlational design, involving 48 employees selected from the agency. Data were collected using the Job Insecurity Scale by De Witte et al. (2008) and the Organizational Commitment Scale by Meyer and Allen (1998), and analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. Results: The results showed that most employees experienced moderate levels of job insecurity and organizational commitment. Job insecurity was found to be negatively but not significantly related to overall organizational commitment (r = -0.110, p > 0.05), but it showed a significant negative relationship with affective commitment (r = -0.255, p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that higher job insecurity tends to reduce employees affective commitment, although it does not significantly affect other components of organizational commitment. The study highlights the importance of job stability and organizational support in maintaining employees emotional attachment to the organization.
