Job insecurity, job security, job future ambiguity? Oh my... A new step towards conceptual clarity
Year: 2023
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Ever since the seminal first-ever attempt by Greenhalgh and Rosenblatt (1984) to clarify the concept of job insecurity, literature on this topic has grown exponentially. With research focused on job insecurity for almost four decades, the initial clarity began to fade. While in Europe, since 1999, we distinguish between qualitative and quantitative job insecurity, some US authors sometimes still prefer to refer to job security, while researchers all around the world debate whether affective and cognitive job insecurity should be measured separately, or within one construct. In this chapter, we clarify existing terminology regarding job insecurity, discuss existing measurement instruments, and offer recommendations for authors seeking to employ the best available measure for their intended purpose.
