Furthermore, less research exists moderator variables between job insecurity and OCB. For this reason, this study investigated the relationships among Job Insecurity, OCB, and Paternalistic Leadership. Drawing on the social exchange theory, this study expected the two dimensions of job insecurity (keep present job but lose job features, lose present job) would affect two kinds of OCB (OCB-I, OCB-O) in a different manner. In addition, the interaction of job insecurity and Paternalistic Leadership were expected to predict OCB-I and OCB-O. The hypotheses were tested with 462 dyad samples (supervisor-subordinate) from private enterprises of Taiwan. The results showed that: (1) the relationship between job insecurity of (lose job features) and OCB-I is Inverted-U-shaped. (2) Job insecurity of lose present job) had negative effect on OCB-O. (3) Authoritative leadership strengthens the negative impacts of job insecurity on OCB; nevertheless, moral leadership mitigated negative relationships of job insecurity of lose present job on OCB-O. Finally, this study also discussed the implications of theory/practice and limitations/future directions.
