Abstract

Abstract. Background. The aim of this study is to analyse the determinants of the occurrence of qualitative and quantitative job insecurity. It focuses on three career variables (employability, career exploration, and career uncertainty) and the way they contribute to individual reactions (defined as financial and social strain) to job insecurity. In addition, it takes into account the contextual factors, such as sector and organizational change in explaining how job insecurity is perceived and responded to.Methods. An online survey was carried out in a sample of 205 respondents employed in various Lithuanian organizations. They filled out a questionnaire which included measures of job insecurity, career attitudes, and financial/social strain. The data were analysed in the full sample, as well as in four subsamples that were split regarding two parameters (public vs. private sector; no recent organizational change reported vs. recent organizational change reported). Results and conclusion. The hierarchical regression analysis showed job insecurity to be strongly related to financial and social strain. However, it draws a slight distinction between qualitative and quantitative job insecurity as predictors of strain. Furthermore, a moderator analysis has revealed several moderating effects of career variables in the relationship between job insecurity and financial/social strain. Finally, it was found that organizational change and type of sector may play a role in determining the interplay between career factors, job insecurity and strain, as job insecurity effects were quite different across different subsamples. To generalize, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding how personal variables, such as career attitudes and beliefs, might change the subjective experience of job insecurity in objectively different contexts.

Decent work in Switzerland: Context, conceptualization, and assessment

“…deterioration of their working and living conditions (Urbanavičiūtė, Bagdžiūnienė, Lazauskaitė-Zabielskė, Vander Elst, & De Witte, 2015).…”

“…The second aim of this research was to assess how factors within the PWT (Duffy et al, 2016) predicted and were outcomes of decent work in a sample of workers in Switzerland. Drawing from the PWT and in accordance with the characteristics of the Swiss labor market, we considered age, gender, perceived social class, education, unemployment experiences, and qualitative or quantitative job insecurity (Urbanavičiūtė et al, 2015) to be indicators of socioeconomic constraints and marginalization that predict the access to decent work. Work volition (Duffy et al, 2012) was considered to be a mediating factor between socioeconomic constraints or marginalization and decent work.…”

“…In line with Urbanavičiūtė et al (2015), job insecurity was assessed through two 4item scales covering quantitative and qualitative insecurity. The quantitative job insecurity scale measures "the perceived threat to lose one's job" (p. 29; e.g., "I think I might lose my job in the near future"), whereas the qualitative job insecurity scale measures "the perceived threat of experiencing unfavourable changes in working conditions" (p. 30; e.g., "I think my job will change for the worse").…”

Are Young Physicians Have Problem in Job Insecurity? The Impact of Health systems' Changes

“…This is consistent with the results of research that shows JI's physician tend to increase because they feel unable to control the situation, in this case, due to the impact of the implementation of BPJS. Literature studies also emphasize that job insecurity is one of the triggers of stress caused by an individual's perception of the work environment (Urbanavičiūtė et al, 2015). Individual perceptions are often subjective, although the aspect that is observed is objective conditions.…”

“…Affective JI was the emotional element of the experience of the individual against the possibility of losing a job or income (Urbanavičiūtė, Bagdžiūnienė, Lazauskaitė-Zabielskė, Elst, & De Witte, 2015).…”
