“…Gender differences were only found on the subscale of time structure, with females reporting greater access. Hoare and Machin (2010) focused on the impact of re-employment on access to both the latent and the manifest benefits of employment and mental health in a study of 115 unemployed Australians. Participants who gained employment (N = 58) were better off financially, reported greater access to social contact and a better time structure and had significant improvements in their mental health when followed up.…”

“…Blustein (2013) and others (Blustein, Olle, Connors-Kellgren, & Diamonti, 2016) argue that decent work (International Labour Office, 2015) is a human right. Indeed, the latent and manifest benefits of employment (Hoare & Machin, 2010;Jahoda, 1982) and working are a source of mental health and wellbeing (Blustein, 2008;Modini et al, 2016).…”

Unemployment is a ubiquitous problem that is a complex of cultural, economic interpersonal, physical, and psychological dimensions. Whereas the pernicious negative outcomes of unemployment are empirically established in the literature, there is a need to better understand the psychological experiences of unemployment so as to inform interventions that ameliorate its impact. The present research is based on archival interview data and uses the psychology of working theory to understand 32 individuals’ experiences of unemployment. The findings include themes that are consistent with the hypothesized predictors posited in the theory, including marginalization, economic constraints, volition, career adaptability, proactive personality, critical consciousness, social support, and economic conditions. The research findings affirm the conceptual precepts of the theory with regard to its predictors; thus, this contribution to the literature on the psychology of working and unemployment opens new perspectives on a perennial problem.

“…Similarly, Lee et al. (2010) pointed out that regular employment not only reduces poverty but also increases awareness on other health‐related issues and therefore improves psychological health too (Hoare & Machin, 2010). Therefore, it can be expected that there will be a decrease in the psychological health of those who have lost their jobs.…”

“…Studies showed that employment protects the psychological health of the people by providing meaning and structure to their lives (Cramm, Moller, & Nieboer, 2010). Similarly, Lee et al (2010) pointed out that regular employment not only reduces poverty but also increases awareness on other health-related issues and therefore improves psychological health too (Hoare & Machin, 2010).Therefore, it can be expected that there will be a decrease in the psychological health of those who have lost their jobs. The relevant literature indicates in general that the consequence of unemployment is negative, but there is no single study that looked at the correlates of psychological health during unemployment.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the major determinants of psychological health during unemployment. With this in mind, 438 (17% female and 83% male) unemployed individuals were contacted through Turkey's State Employment Office. It was expected that the relationship between duration of unemployment and psychological wellbeing would be nonlinear. Additionally it was hypothesized that perceived social support would moderate the relationship between length of unemployment and psychological health. Further, we suggested that self-esteem would be related to psychological health and moderate the relationship between length of unemployment and psychological health. The results supported the curvilinearity hypothesis of the relationship between unemployment duration and psychological health as measured by General Health Questionnaire. However, social support was not found to moderate the relationship between unemployment duration and psychological health. The hypothesis that self-esteem would moderate the relationship between length of unemployment and psychological distress was not supported, although self-esteem was a strong negative determinant of psychological distress during unemployment. Regression analysis showed that the best predictors of psychological health were self-esteem, perceived social support and perceived adequacy of financial aid received from relatives. Interestingly, perceived adequacy of the financial aid was negatively related to psychological health. This result was contradictory with the previous literature pointing out that financial aid reduces the effects of poverty due to unemployment. The findings of this study are important since the relationship between unemployment duration and psychological health was nonlinear, indicating that relevant services should be especially careful to intervene to increase social support and self-esteem during these critical times. The other results and limitations are discussed.
