Sammendrag
This study aims to examine the relationship between job insecurity, openness to

change and respectful engagement among layoff survivors. We propose that job

insecurity, measured by threat to job features and powerlessness, negatively affect

layoff survivors’ openness to change and that respectful engagement will

positively moderate these relationships. In an attempt to test our model, we use

hierarchical regression analysis on a sample consisting of employees from the

Norwegian labor market. The results show that threat to job features negatively

affect layoff survivors’ openness to change, and further indicate that respectful

engagement is an important aspect to acknowledge as it positively moderates the

relationship. However, the results also reveal that powerlessness does not have a

significant negative correlation to openness to change. In addition, the effect of

respectful engagement is not significantly positively moderating this relationship.

Implications for theory and practice, limitation and directions for future research

are also discussed.

Keywords: change, downsizing, job insecurity, job features, powerlessness, high quality connection, respectful engagement
