“…Further, experiences of job insecurity depend on three threat features: perceived situational control, threat duration and volition. Consequently [23], lower control, longer duration and lower volition will cause increased distress in workers, with detrimental effects on personal physical and psychological health and work-related well-being [5,[23][24]. Finally, other authors [26] have proposed differentiating the cognitive components of job insecurity related to the perception of loss or negative job change, from the affective components related to the emotional reactions to job loss or potential job change.…”

The social distancing, confinement and quarantine adopted since March 2020 to confront the COVID-19 pandemic have affected multiple vital areas, and specially work, business and productive activities. Prior research has highlighted the relation between perceptions of risk in employment and its concomitant financial risk with a myriad of consequences for people's well-being and health. In order to analyze the potential negative consequences of temporary layoffs, downsizing or closure of companies and businesses, and the consequent insecurity about the continuity of employment, the aim of this study is twofold. Firstly, to analyze the relations between the perceptions of job insecurity and financial threat and overall mental health during the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of the Chilean adult population. And secondly, to identify the potential buffer effect of perceived social support on this relation. To analyze this, we carried out a cross-sectional study on a non-probabilistic sample aimed at a general Chilean adult population. The results show that both perceptions of job insecurity and financial threat are associated with a decline in perceived mental health. Additionally, results indicate a moderate buffer effect of perceived social support relative to the size of the social network. Thus, in relation to job insecurity and financial threat, the network size mitigates the association of both with the decline in perceived mental health. The theoretical and applied scope of these findings are analyzed, and their challenges and limitations are discussed.

“…Thus, job insecurity (e.g. [3][4][5]) and financial insecurity (e.g. [6][7][8]) have negative effects on many aspects of people's physical, mental and psychosocial health, including even direct effects on mortality when health is fragile [9] or it leads to suicidal behaviors [10], as well as affects family [11] and partner relationships.…”

“…Interpersonal conflicts between colleagues and because of inadequate support from employers have been identified as generating work stress, resulting in poor sleep quality, anxiety states, and depression [12]. Further, concerns about potentially losing current employment manifest themselves in a variety of physical and psychological ailments which, at times, can be so severe that recovery is not possible [13,14]. The greater the demands or requirements of work activities-emotional, cognitive, and quantitative-and the lesser the possibility of control, the greater the likelihood of illness resulting from psychological stress [15][16][17].…”

“…The greater the demands or requirements of work activities-emotional, cognitive, and quantitative-and the lesser the possibility of control, the greater the likelihood of illness resulting from psychological stress [15][16][17]. Moreover, there is a positive association between long working hours and the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases [14], as well as the risk of conflicts between employment and family [18,19]. Finally, job insecurity and employment characteristics have been studied as determinants of health inequalities.…”

Self-perceived health is an important indicator of occupational health. This research explored the relationship between poor self-perceived health and exposure to psychosocial risk factors, taking into account potential socio-demographic, occupational, and employment determinants. Using data from the First Survey of Occupational Safety and Health Conditions, covering 1049 salaried workers in Guayaquil, Ecuador, descriptive and stratified binary logistic regression analyses (odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals) were carried out. A significant relationship was found between exposure to psychosocial risk factors and the probability of presenting poor self-perceived health by socio-demographic, occupational, and employment characteristics. Occupational exposure factors to psychosocial risks were predictors of self-perceived ill health and were related to the variables analyzed; the most frequently expressed factors among the respondents were cognitive demands (DCOG) and job insecurity (IL). The results have implications in terms of designing effective workplace interventions pursuant to ensuring the health and well-being of employees.
