Abstract: This study investigated the relative contributions of the individual latent and manifest benefits of employment to well-being in a sample of 248 unemployed people. Participants completed measures of well-being and the latent (time structure, activity, status, collective purpose, and social contact) and manifest (financial strain) benefits of employment. Significant associations were found between the latent benefits and well-being and between the manifest benefits and well-being. Both latent and manifest benef… Show more

“…loss of income, material deprivation) and latent consequences (e.g. status deprivation, loss of time structure) (Bartley 1994;Mathers and Schofield 1998;Creed and Macintyre 2001). Additionally, a changing association between unemployment and health during economic change and systematic differences in the effects of employment status on health between countries has been recently described (Béland et al 2002;Ahs and Westerling 2006;Arber and Lahelma 1993;Bambra and Eikemo 2009).…”

“…Until recently, research has largely examined the two theories independently and support has been found for both (e.g., Creed & Machin, 2002;Creed & Macintyre, 2001;Haworth & Paterson, 1995;Whelan, 1992). From studies that have integrated the theories, it appears that the manifest benefit, typically operationalised as financial strain or economic deprivation, is a better predictor than latent deprivation of well-being in unemployed samples (Brief et al, 1995;Creed & Macintyre, 2001).…”

“…According to Jahoda (1982), deprivation of these latent functions of employment accounts for the psychological distress experienced by the unemployed. Jahoda (1982) maintained that time structure was the most important of the latent functions, but the few studies carried out to date on the relative contribution of each of the latent functions have suggested that loss of status may be the most detrimental to well-being (Creed & Machin, 2002;Creed & Macintyre, 2001).…”
