“…Finally, possible gender differences with respect to these effects were examined in exploratory fashion since previous findings have reported gender differences with respect to work goals, work stress coping mechanisms, and work aspirations and goals (Cocchiara & Bell, 2009 ; Hakim, 2002 ; Maume, 2006 ). However, other studies have found similarities between men’s and women’s typical work goals such as the significance attributed to having a supportive work environment (Nichols et al, 1995 ). Thus no directional hypotheses for gender were made.…”

Downturns in the global economy have caused even large organizations to cease to operate; a phenomenon often dubbed “organizational death”. Two studies focused on individual coping strategies in times of organizational death and the possible moderating role of attachment as a personality factor. Experiment 1 ( N = 162) explored the effects of the saliency of organizational death on work priorities, and the moderating role of dispositional attachment orientation. Experiment 2 ( N = 119) examined the interaction between dispositional attachment and the recall of an attachment event on work priorities. Participants reported their work priorities after being primed to imagine that their organization must either shut down or undergo an organizational crisis (or were assigned to a neutral control group), and completed the Experiences in Close Relationships scale to determine their attachment orientation. In Experiment 2, participants were also asked to recall a secure/insecure event after organizational death (or organizational crisis) priming to test the impact of external attachment event recall saliency and its interaction with dispositional attachment on work priorities. Dispositional avoidance (but not anxiety) moderated the effects of the organizational priming condition on work priorities. Recall of an attachment event interacted with dispositional avoidance (but not anxiety) on work priorities after organizational death priming. The saliency of organizational death mitigated the moderating role of individual differences on the effects of both dispositional orientation and priming of an attachment event on work priorities. Thus, a significant event that undermines one of the pillars of security in adulthood may lessen individual differences in work priorities following this exposure.

Examination of household economic activities including management, interfamily economic exchange and production as they influence level of living was conducted on samples of men and women. Differences in reported activities as well as perceptions were observed for men and women. Forty-five per cent of the variation in men's satisfaction with level of living was explained by economic and management activities and socioeconomic demographic characteristics, whereas 46% of women's variation was explained by these variables. The paths to Satisfaction with level of living were different. Perceived sense of control was an intervening variable between activitieslcharacteristics and satisfaction with level of living for women but not for men. The results support the hypothesized relationships in the family economic model. The results document the possibility for household economic activities as sources of real income to maintain and improve level of living, especially in times of decreased purchasing power.
