In the phases of economic downturn ,working journalists have always been affected by downsizing, termination, layoff and cut in salaries as well as job-related issues which are heighting job related concerns in journalists working in the media industry. The following research is conducted under the umbrella of quantitative methodology to explore the relationship between job insecurity and organizational commitment, job satisfaction, work engagement, and perceived stress on journalists. The data was collected from journalists (n=305) through stratified sampling technique using a survey questionnaire. To measure the responses, the researchers used a 5-point Likert scale.
