THE DETRIMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF PERCEIVED JOB INSECURITY ON HEALTH AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

Summary/Abstract: The analysis presented in this paper contributes to research on the impact that job insecurity and employability have on health and psychological well-being, the processes through which perceived job insecurity influences both mental and physical health, and the moderating function of the manifest and latent benefits of work in the link between job insecurity and mental health. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the current literature by examining the adverse effect of job insecurity on workers’ well-being and health, the relationship between job insecurity, employability, and well-being, and the intra-individual mechanisms through which job insecurity influences mental and physical health over time. The findings of this study have implications for the components instrumental in workers’ perceptions of job insecurity, the character of persons’ concerns regarding losing their jobs, and the impact of job insecurity on subjective well-being and various measures of individual health.
