“…For these authors (Cesário et al, 2012), the greater job insecurity does not imply less job satisfaction and less job commitment. In this line, the results of Bernhard-Oettel et al (2005), De Witte andNaswall (2003) and Guest and Conway (1997) do not support the hypothesis that temporary workers are less satisfied with their job than permanent workers, and their findings cannot establish a clear relationship between type of employment contract and job satisfaction.…”

This paper analyses temporary work and job satisfaction among salaried workers during the Spanish economic crisis of 2008. Using data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) 2013 Economically Active Population Survey (EAPS), we find that temporary workers lost their job more than others during this period. However, salaried workers have higher average levels of satisfaction in 2007-2010, possibly due to the lower requirements of workers. We find a positive relationship between the unlikeliness of keeping a job and low job satisfaction levels in data from the Survey of Quality of Life at Work (2010) through a correspondence analysis. A linear model with a level of job satisfaction as a dependent variable shows negative coefficients for a level of job satisfaction if the probability of keeping the job is somewhat unlikely or very unlikely. Finally, an ordinal probit regression finds that the estimated likelihood to reach high job satisfaction is lower in temporary workers.

“…In a similar vein, permanent employees experience higher levels of distress and poorer health when feeling insecure, whereas perceived job insecurity was not predictive for these outcomes in the group of temporary employees (e.g. Bernhard-Oettel et al 2005;De Cuyper and De Witte 2005). This pattern of results can be explained with reference to the discrepancy between the level of expected and perceived job insecurity that is dramatic, unexpected, and unwelcome for permanent employees, while this is not the case for temporary employees De Witte 2006, 2007;De Witte and Näswall 2003;Mauno et al 2005).…”

“…The reason for this exclusion is twofold. First, recent research (Bernhard-Oettel et al 2005;De Cuyper and De Witte 2005, 2006De Witte and Näswall 2003;Mauno et al 2005) has found that perceived job insecurity increases job exhaustion and reduces job satisfaction and organizational commitment among permanent employees, whereas it does little in explaining the responses of temporary employees. In a similar vein, permanent employees experience higher levels of distress and poorer health when feeling insecure, whereas perceived job insecurity was not predictive for these outcomes in the group of temporary employees (e.g.…”

Results Covariance analyses adjusted for background variables support findings from earlier studies that long-term unemployment and perceived job insecurity are detrimental: short-term unemployed and secure permanent employees experienced fewer psychological complaints and lower subjective complaints load, reported a higher self-rated health, and were more satisfied with their life compared to long-term unemployed and insecure permanent employees. Second, whereas unemployment was found to be more detrimental than insecure employment in terms of life satisfaction, insecure employment was found to be more detrimental than unemployment in terms of psychological complaints. No differences were found regarding subjective complaints load and self-rated health. Conclusions Our findings suggest that (1) insecure employment relates to more psychological complaints than short-term unemployment and secure permanent employment, (2) insecure employment and long-term unemployment relate to more subjective complaints load and poorer health when compared to secure permanent employment, and (3) insecure employment relates to higher life satisfaction than both short-and long-term unemployment.Keywords Unemployment · Job insecurity · Psychological complaints · Subjective complaints load · Life satisfaction · Self-rated health IntroductionOver the last 20 years, globalization along with the economic recession has put considerable strain on the labour market. Therefore, organizations have been forced to cutback costs, resulting in job loss and increased perceptions of job insecurity among workers (Daly et al. 2013; AbstractPurpose Research has provided convincing evidence for the adverse effects of both short-and long-term unemployment, and perceived job insecurity on individuals' health and well-being. This study aims to go one critical step further by comparing the association between short-and longterm unemployment, and perceived job insecurity with a diverse set of health and well-being indicators. Methods We compare four groups: (1) secure permanent employees (N = 2257), (2) insecure permanent employees (N = 713), (3) short-term unemployed (N = 662), and (4) long-term unemployed (N = 345) using cross-sectional data from the nationally representative Living Conditions Survey in Finland. 2000, 2011). These phenomena, in turn, have raised concerns about their potential impact on employees' health and well-being. Unemployment typically refers to individuals between the age of 16 and 64 who do not have a paid job or are not self-employed during a specific reference period even though they are physically and psychologically available for work and actively seeking employment (International Labour Organization, ILO 2000). There is convincing evidence from diverse fields such as life sciences (e.g. medicine) and social sciences (e.g. psychology) that unemployment has adverse effects that go beyond effects associated with income loss (for a review see Frey 2008; McKee-Ryan et al. 2005). First, unemployment negatively impacts physical h...

StreszczenieOd ponad 2 dekad na świecie prowadzone są intensywne badania na temat różnych aspektów funkcjonowania pracowników zatrudnionych na umowach terminowych. Mimo że w Polsce występuje najwyższy w Europie odsetek takich pracowników, badania na temat tej grupy osób są w naszym kraju rzadkością. Celem artykułu był przegląd światowych badań dotyczących związku mię-dzy rodzajem umowy o pracę a zdrowiem i funkcjonowaniem zawodowym pracowników. Podstawowym wnioskiem z przeglądu jest duża rozbieżność wyników dotyczących wyżej wymienionych zagadnień. Uważa się, że powodem tej rozbieżności może być heterogeniczność grupy "pracownicy tymczasowi", różnice kulturowe i pokoleniowe, a także kontekst ekonomiczny, w którym prowadzone były badania. Jednym z podstawowych wskazań dla przyszłych badań jest zastosowanie kryterium zgodności rodzaju zatrudnienia (umowy o pracę) z osobistymi preferencjami pracownika, a także stosowanie bardziej skomplikowanych schematów badawczych. Med. Pr. 2015;66(4):565-573 Słowa kluczowe: wypadki przy pracy, zatrudnienie na czas określony, zdrowie fizyczne i psychiczne, zatrudnienie na czas nieokreślony, absencja, jakość pracy AbstractFrom over 2 decades intensive research concerning temporary workers has been carried out in Europe and outside Europe. Despite having the highest rate of temporary workers in Europe, the studies on this topic are very rare in Poland. The aim of the study was to review the existing research on the relations between temporary work and employees' health and occupational functioning. The main conclusion from this review is that there is a significant inconsistency between the results of the studies included in this review due to such factors as heterogeneity of the group "temporary workers," cultural and generational differences between temporary workers, as well as different economic context in which those studies had been carried out. The main recommendations for the future research is thus to take into account the personal preferences for performing temporary work and to use more complex study design. Med Pr 2015;66(4):565-573
