The current study proposes to understand the dynamic relationship between employees’ job insecurity and mental and health related issues, through the mediating role of perceived control. The relationship is based upon theoretical underpinning of Appraisal Theory. Results indicated that Perceived Control mediated the relationship between JIS and MHC while trust in management, did not buffer the strength of relationship between JIS and MHC. Similarly, Boundary less career orientation (BCO) also did not exercise moderating mediating effect. Future researcher may investigate the same model, with other strain related issues like burnout, emotional exhaustion and psychological distress, innovative work behavior and self rated performance, to understand the dynamic relationship between JIS and outcomes through moderated mediation analysis.
