“…For employers, high mobility has in general been seen as a problem, as it involves disruption of activities or production. High mobility may also impoverish the organization as competence and human capital investment disappear with employees who quit [52]. The results thus give support to the common finding that employer engagement involving support and work place adjustments for sick-listed workers may facilitate health and work ability [2,4,23].…”

The latter comprises not only temporary employment relationships but also autonomous collaborations used by firms as low-cost de facto temporary employment relationships. Little is known about the quality of these temporary jobs, particularly widespread among young workers. We estimate a regression model of perceived overall job satisfaction of young workers, based on the ISFOL-PLUS 2006-2008-2010 panel. We control for the various temporary contracts and for perceived satisfactions in nine aspects of the job. We find that lack of job stability is the most serious cause of lower satisfaction for both temporary employees and autonomous collaborators. But while temporary employees compensate concerns of job stability with other job aspects, attaining satisfaction levels comparable to those of permanent employees, autonomous collaborators do not and are thus significantly the least satisfied.JEL Classification: J28, J81

“…part-time employment, temporary employment) on a labour market is related to high levels of job insecurity, which is especially prominent among post-socialist EU member states (Fullerton, Robertson and Dixon, 2011). It could be interpreted as an evidence in favour of the "flexicurity" hypothesis (Origo and Pagani, 2009).…”

“…It has been shown that the negative impact of instability, which is implied by flexible employment, can be compensated by the high level of job security. Flexible employment-secure job has been proved to be a favoured over permanent insecure job, while no significant differences have been shown between job-secure permanent and job-secure temporary workers (Origo and Pagani, 2009).…”

confidence: 95%

“…Some sources suggest that the temporary employment intrinistically implies job insecurity and that the flexicurity model strives to compensate this insecurity by increased employment security (Green and Leeves, 2010). However, existing empirical evidence undermines this statement, showing that employment flexibility and job security may coexist (Origo and Pagani, 2009). In the same study, authors show that job security rather than the type of contract is the determining factor of job satisfaction.…”
