Structural equation modeling analyses of data from 2 longitudinal community studies of recently laid-off workers examined the interrelationships and pathways from personal coping resources to job-search intensity and the extent and quality of reemployment at 2 follow-ups (at 6 months and at 12 or 24 months). In both studies, the proposed models for predicting reemployment and reemployment quality provided a good fit to the data with the same pattern of results, which demonstrated that job-search motivation increased reemployment at all follow-ups but did not affect reemployment quality. At both the 6-and 12-month follow-ups, level of depressive symptoms decreased the extent and quality of reemployment. The results also highlighted the dual role of financial strain, which on the one hand facilitates reemployment by increasing job-search motivation and job-search intensity and on the other hand inhibits it by increasing depressive symptoms.

“…I t should be empha-33 It should be emphasized, of course, that a queuing hypothesis of this sort cannot be adequately addressed with the present data. After all, SIOPS is clearly not an exhaustive measure of job desirability (see Jencks et al 1988), nor is our 45-category classification sufficiently fine grained to reveal the structure of male advantage at the most detailed level of analysis (see Bielby and Baron 1984). We would further note that a queuing model cannot be tested in any convincing way without controlling for heterogeneity in worker qualifications (e.g., education, work experience, and training).…”

This article introduces a structural approach to analyzing sex segregation data that rests on margin-free measures of the underlying association in sex-by-occupation arrays. The starting point for the analyses is a log-multiplicative model that is formally consistent with the conventional practice of summarizing cross-national variability in a single parameter pertaining to the overall strength of sex segregation. Under this baseline specification, the segregation regime is forced to take on the same basic shape in each country, with the only form of permissible variability being a uniform compression or expansion of the peaks and valleys characterizing the shared segregation profile. Although the latter model does not account for the cross-national variability in our illustrative data, it can be readily generalized in ways that both improve the fit and yield new insights into the structure and sources of sex segregation. These elaborated models can be used to examine the hierarchical structure of segregation, to identify the dominant "segregation profiles" in industrial countries, and to parse out the net residue of segregation at multiple levels of analysis.The study of occupational sex segregation appears to be entering its takeoff period. This can be seen, for example, in the recent resurgence of interest in describing how the structure of sex segregation varies across Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the American

“…Everyone recognizes this fact, both when they discuss jobs in daily conversations and when they actually choose among jobs [4]. People spend a large part of their life at work; all of us want to have a job with high quality of working life conditions, as well as to increase their overall quality of life.…”

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to determine a set of factors that can represent the conception of a quality of work life with capability and expectations. This article discusses the main dimensions and meaning of quality of working life and its measurements. Also the system of three main levels to which it relates is introduced. Theory based article, review of literature on the concept and measurement of quality of working life.
