Impact of Job Insecurity, Role Perception and Self Efficacy on Bankers’ Affective Wellbeing

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of job insecurity, role perception and self efficacy on banker’s affective wellbeing. Survey research redesign and quota sampling technique were adopted in this study. 250 male and female bankers participated while data was collected from using a validated questionnaire form. Two hypotheses were tested and results showed that role perception, job insecurity and self efficacy jointly predicted affective wellbeing (F (3,202) = 16.08; P< .05); self efficacy is the most independent predictor of affective wellbeing (β= .29; t=4.16; .05) did not. However, results indicated that age, gender, years of experience and organizational tenure did not either jointly or independently predict affective wellbeing. Hence, it was recommended that managers in the banking sector should pay adequate attention to the salient psychological factor of job insecurity, role perception and self-efficacy of employees and ensure that they are well trained and sensitized on the necessity of putting on a high level of confidence in handling work-life situations, ascertain permanent employment status and enhance the positive perception of bankers as this positively increases their well-being.
