The psychological meaning of job insecurity and job loss: Results of a longitudinal study

Analysis of the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health demonstrates employment insecurity to be associated with mental illness

“…In contrast, insecurely employed full-and part-time workers seemed to share with the unemployed a sense of powerlessness, leading to enormous mental health problems. [6,7] In the same vein, this study's findings suggested that full-time workers with perceived job insecurity reported significantly poorer mental health than those with perceived job security. The odds ratio of mental disorders for those workers was even slightly higher than that for the unemployed.…”

Job Insecurity and Employee Commitment: Managers' Reactions to the Threat and Outcomes of Redundancy Selection1

“…However, during the termination period, our sample's assumption of employer protection also distinguished their responses from previous job insecurity research in two specific ways. Firstly, previous studies examining workers' concerns about future job loss have found that job insecurity is generally perceived prior to the redundancy announcement (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984;Jacobson, 1987;Joelson and Wahlquist, 1987). However, for the managers in this study, their redundancy selection was associated with the onset of feelings of doubt and anxiety about the outcome of the decision.…”

Is Job Insecurity Worse for Mental Health Than Having a Part-time Job in Canada?

“…After controlling for socioeconomic factors, however, perceived job insecurity seemed to be a primary factor for determining major depressive disorder. Insecurely employed full-time and part-time workers may share with the unemployed a sense of powerlessness, leading to mental health problems [6,7,19]. This study also sought to examine gender contingent effects and the roles of health behaviors on this relationship.…”
