“…This process also impinges on teachers' professional status and, in the long term, identity. Schools with a reputation as "turbulent" have higher rates of staff turnover, especially because they are the only workplaces available to younger, less experienced teachers (Argentin et al, 2018;Barbieri et al, 2013). Likewise, there is a constant movement of teachers away from precarious jobs in vocational schools to employment offering greater stability at more prestigious schools, as well as from working in special education to more reputable positions as mainstream teachers (Devecchi et al, 2012).…”

“…The result is a systematic turnover and shortage of special education teachers, many of whom do not accept the job because of a professional calling but as a shortcut to their goal of becoming a mainstream teacher. The high turnover also means a constant loss of professional knowledge regarding how to support learning and care for students with a disability (Barbieri & Sestito, 2017).…”

“…Second, the research adds a different theoretical perspective by investigating work-related social support as a job resource to help precarious schoolteachers address feelings of job insecurity (Carlson and Perrewé, 1999). Finally, it investigates perceptions of job insecurity and social support in a population that is characterized by a low job secure employment situation and, therefore, needs the attention of researchers (Barbieri and Sestito, 2017; Richter et al , 2015).…”

“…Precarious schoolteachers are in an objectively insecure employment situation that is likely to imply subjective feelings of job insecurity. The precariousness of Italian schoolteachers is a complex phenomenon that over the years has become a structural problem and a physiological trait of the public education system (Barbieri and Sestito, 2017). In Italy, the MIUR (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research) uses fixed-term teachers to ensure the effective delivery of the academic curriculum offered by schools.…”

PurposeThe negative consequences of job insecurity on the well-being of individuals are well known. However, the perceptions of job insecurity over time and how some factors such as social support may affect them have received limited attention. This study follows precarious schoolteachers for three weeks before the end of their contract to explore how their perceptions of job insecurity evolve over time.Design/methodology/approachThe participants were 47 precarious schoolteachers who first completed a general questionnaire, then a diary survey on nine occasions over the course of the three weeks. Data was analysed with MPLUS 7.3.FindingsThe results suggest intra-individual differences regarding the way job insecurity was perceived over time. An additional discovery was that support provided by the school principal was negatively related to changes in job insecurity over time.Research limitations/implicationsThe relatively small sample size, which includes only precarious schoolteachers, and the methodology complexity of the diary are limitations of this study.Practical implicationsThis study highlights the subjective nature of the perceptions of job insecurity. It also shows the importance of the school principal's social support towards precarious schoolteachers; therefore, practitioners should propose interventions to enhance the quality of principal–teachers relationships.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by investigating how perceptions of job insecurity evolve over time and the role of social support.

Wage Equalization and Regional Misallocation: Evidence from Italian and German Provinces

Italy and Germany have similar geographical differences in firm productivity – with the North more productive than the South in Italy and the West more productive than the East in Germany – but have adopted different models of wage bargaining. Italy sets wages based on nationwide contracts that allow for limited local wage adjustments, while Germany has moved toward a more flexible system that allows for local bargaining. We find that Italy exhibits limited geographical wage differences in nominal terms and almost no relationship between local productivity and local nominal wages, while Germany has larger geographic wage differences and a tighter link between local wages and local productivity. As a consequence, in Italy, low productivity provinces have higher non-employment rates than high productivity provinces, because employers cannot lower wages, while in Germany the relationship between non-employment and productivity is significantly weaker. We conclude that the Italian system has significant costs in terms of forgone aggregate earnings and employment because it generates a spatial equilibrium where workers queue for jobs in the South and remain unemployed while waiting. If Italy adopted the German system, aggregate employment and earnings would increase by 11.04% and 7.45%, respectively. Our findings are relevant for other European countries.
