All of which may lead to feelings of job insecurity about an employee’s job continuation. (Sverke, Hellgren, & Naswall, 2002 ). With this in mind, researches on job insecurity and its negative consequences have rapidly increased since job insecurity has been proven to have negative outcomes not just for individuals but also towards the organization (Cheng & Chan, 2008). In addition, research on job insecurity have been more significant because of its growing relevance in the workplace (Silla, Gracia, Mañas, & Peiró, 2010).

Since job insecurity is extensive, it is of great interest to organizations and its employees on how to reduce the negative outcomes that come with job insecurity (Silla, Gracia, Mañas, & Peiró, 2010). To date, studies on how job insecurity is linked to behavioral consequences and how to mitigate it has been limited.

Internalized oppression differs from culture to culture, as every society has a unique standard. For example, if a black person lives within a society where white people are treated better, the black person may internalize the belief that black people do not deserve to be treated fairly. On the contrary, white people can feel the same way living within a culture where they are treated less fairly.
