“…Unemployment stigma was measured using a four-item study-specific scale designed to tap the emotional issues associated with unemployment (Cullen and Hodgetts, 2001;Radley, 1989;Tolciu, 2010). Prior research (Kulik, 2000;Shams, 1993) has used individual items to measure different aspects of unemployment stigma without building a reliable scale. A sample item is: "because I am unemployed I feel like I do not belong anymore".…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to test a process model of coping with job loss by examining the impact of distal to proximal variable sets for incrementally explaining two distinct subjective well-being variables: life satisfaction and unemployment stigma. A second purpose is to test for mean differences between study scales for increasingly long-term unemployed individuals. Design/methodology/approach -A unique sample of unemployed victims completed an online survey investigating the impact of six variable sets on life satisfaction and unemployment stigma. These sets fall within the McKee-Ryan et al. taxonomy and included: human capital and demographics; personal and financial coping resources; cognitive appraisal; escape-focused coping; problem-focused coping; and job search effort. Findings -Results partially supported the hypothesized variable set impact order on both life satisfaction and unemployment stigma. In addition some significant differences on study variables were found comparing four unemployed groups: up to six months; and three progressively long-term unemployed groups, i.e. seven to 12 months; 13 to 24 months; and over 24 months, with the over 24 month unemployed respondents (23 per cent of the sample) suffering the most.Research limitations/implications -The cross-sectional self-report study research design is the foremost limitation. However, given the challenges of collecting unemployment related-data on such a diverse sample, the unemployment agency/job services recent-job-loss-respondent longitudinal data collection approach used in previous research was not an option. The one-factor test found that only 15 per cent of "common method variance" was explained by the first factor, suggesting that this is not an overriding limitation. Survey constraints necessitated using shortened validated scales in several instances. However, the authors did select the highest loading items when shortening scales and such scales w...

“…Such distress involves emotions such as guilt, shame, and embarrassment, and becoming unemployed can create such emotions (Latack and Dozier, 1986). Kulik (2000) suggested that the stigma of joblessness (Goffman, 1963) reflects the negative social and personal image of being unemployed. Unemployment stereotypes (e.g.…”

“…Humour indeed can be perceived as offensive in certain cases (Beard, 2008), and "unemployed" is a negatively charged social category that can stigmatise individuals (Kulik, 2000;Oberholzer-Gee, 2008). Thus, when conducting studies related to humour in a recruitment advertising context, ethical aspects are worth remembering.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to understand the challenges and opportunities of using humour in a recruitment advertising campaign. In this study, we approach through a case study the social media recruiting campaign of a high-profile company operating in the architecture industry. The campaign used humour as a device when seeking the right person. The main empirical data were collected through a qualitative open-ended questionnaire targeted at 28 potential job seekers at the architect firm to understand how the humorous recruitment campaign and recruitment ads were perceived by potential job seekers. In addition, an interview with the office manager regarding the goals of the recruitment advertising campaign was conducted, and statistics provided by Facebook and Google Analytics were interpreted. This study provides managers a new understanding of and suggestions regarding the challenges and opportunities of using humour as a marketing device in recruitment advertising campaigns.

In this article, results are reported from a study of what value young (20Á35 years) disabled men and women ascribe to a job and the job satisfaction they have. Data for the study were collected via a survey questionnaire. The results show that both the men and the women attach great psychosocial value to work and that they have a high level of job satisfaction. The results also show that the men tend to ascribe higher economic value to paid work than the women do and that the women ascribe a higher psychosocial value to paid work than the men. Finally, there is a discussion of the conclusions that can be drawn from the results of the social policy measures taken for men and women in the group in question.
