Résumé

The current research aims to understand the detrimental effects of job security (i.e., remaining in the same job), insecurity (i.e., concerns about continuing in the existing job), and burnout on employee organizational commitment. By investigating this context, the study also looks into how benevolent leadership may mitigate
these negative effects. Employing event system theory, we conceptualize job insecurity, job security, and burnout effects as Covid-19-related events and how they may impact employee organizational commitment. Based to the findings, despite the mediation effects of benevolent leadership, job insecurity, and job burnout negatively
impacted employee organizational commitment. Furthermore, job security was lowered by the mediating influence of benevolent leadership. The study findings have important implications for managers and organizations in dealing with future crises.
