Abstract

Work motivation is the process of stimulating people in action to accomplish the goals in their careers. Employees with good motivation can help the company to achieve the main goal, and vice versa. This study aims to investigate and analyse the influence of job insecurity on motivation with employability as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to collect data. Hypotheses are tested with a sample of 73 employees of a newly acquired company in Surabaya which experienced a decrease in productivity at the time of the acquisition process compared to the previous year. Multiple linear regression results suggest that job insecurity negatively affects employee motivation. Furthermore, employability moderates the influence of job insecurity on employee motivation. Employability gives individual control in a broader sense, such as control to be able to change the jobs when needed.
