Abstract

Organizations become vulnerable to the loss of the tacit and explicit knowledge when employees leave the organization. To mitigate this loss, organizations adopt flexible labor model, where employees are managed as flexible workers. But, engaging these workers becomes another challenge for the organization, as due to limited interaction they are less attached with the organization. Data is collected from 212 insurance agents of India and structural equation modeling (SEM) was done to analyse the responses. The results obtained indicated a significant positive influence of perceived organizational support (POS) on work engagement level and the extra-role performance behaviors (ERB) of the flexible workers. Personal resources of employees (i.e., psychological capital) that aids in positive evaluation of a situation is found mediating the influence of POS on work engagement and ERB. Present study is among the few studies that provide avenues to keep flexible workers engaged and motivated towards ERBs in knowledge intensive organizations.
