“…Psychosocial resources, however, have repeatedly been demonstrated to suffer under conditions of unemployment (Clark & Oswald, 1994;Goldsmith, Veum, & Darity, 1997;Jahoda, 1982), so that the reduction in perceived time budget in single-adult households may either be interpreted as part of a generalized stress syndrome involving feelings of ''being under strain'' (Baum, Fleming, & Reddy, 1986;Dooley, Rook, & Catalano, 1987;Leana & Feldman, 1988;Theodossiou, 1998) or, more positively, as a consequence of current efforts to find a job (Kulik, 2001). …”

“…Because the impact of job loss is generally detrimental to individuals by virtually any criteria a researcher chooses to examine, researchers have tried to understand the process of how people cope with job loss (Kinicki and Latack 1990;Leana and Feldman 1992). Researchers have linked involuntary job loss to diminished self-esteem (Gurney 1981;Winefield et al 1987), decreased life satisfaction (Fagin 1981), depression (Tiggemann and Winefield 1984), increased levels of stress (Baum et al 1986;Dooley and Catalano 1988;Winefield and Tiggemann 1989), and a general reduction in well-being (Kinicki 1985;Winefield and Tiggemann 1990).…”

Although forced termination has been a subject of interest to clergy for some time, social scientists have generally studied job loss as if it was the same phenomenon regardless of occupation. Ministry work by itself has always been difficult and stressful, and termination from this occupation has been reported to be the result of a demeaning and systematic process of involuntary removal of paid and non-paid clergy-persons that includes psychological, socio-emotional, and spiritual abuse. This pilot project sampled 227 active ministers from the Assemblies of God denomination via an online survey and asked about their experiences with forced termination, as well as measures of their personal and family well-being. In general, ministers who had been forced from a ministry position had less family well-being and more health problems than those who had not been forced out.

“…Linkages between personality traits and labor market performance measures are well-established, whether performance is measured by earnings (Andrisani, 1977(Andrisani, , 1981Bowles, Gintis, & Osborne, 2001a, 2001bDuncan & Morgan, 1981;Dunifon & Duncan, 1998;Filer, 1981;Goldsmith, Veum, & Darity, 2000;Mueller & Plug, 2004;Nyhus & Pons, 2005;Osborne, 2000;Osborne Groves, 2005), employment (Baum, Fleming, & Reddy, 1986;Goldsmith, Veum, & Darity, 1996), entrepreneurial talent (Hansemark, 2003;Mueller, 2004;, productivity (Barrick & Mount, 1991;Coleman & DeLeire, 2003;Kirkcaldy, Shepard, & Furnham, 2002;Mitchel, Smyser, & Weed, 1975;Salgado, 1997), or promotions (Bowles et al, 2001a;Judge, Higgins, Thoresen, & Barrick, 1999). The two specific personality traits that have consistently been linked to differences in a variety of performance measures are locus of control, and the need for challenge or affiliation.…”

Does personality affect earnings? If so, are there gender differences in personality that explain part of the gender wage gap? We use survey data collected from over 2600 Russian employees between 2000 and 2003 to evaluate the impact on earnings of two personality traits: locus of control and challenge-affiliation. We find that gender differences in personality traits are significant. Men are more likely to exhibit an internal locus of control and need for challenge, while women are more likely to exhibit an external locus of control and need for affiliation. Moreover, there are differences in the effect of personality on earnings by gender -women's earnings are strongly affected by personality, while the effect of personality on men's earnings is small and not always significant. Among the employees participating in our study, personality traits explain as much as 8% of the gender wage gap.
