The study affirms that the feeling of losing one\u2019s job decreases the satisfaction levels regarding other aspects of life such as family, health, economic situation and work-free time relation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As the fear of losing one\u2019s job increases \u2018it also increases the level of job uncertainty; people are less satisfied with their personal, professional and family life and less committed with their job\u2019, said Amparo Caballer, lecturer of social psychology, researcher at Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia\u2019s Facultat de Psicologia and co-author of the study.<\/p>\n This analysis, as the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology\u2019s Servicio de Informaci\u00f3n y Noticias Cient\u00edficas has informed, reveals that the consequences of job uncertainty are different depending on the occupational group. The analysis distinguishes three groups: blue collar workers, white collar workers and \u2018professionals\u2019. People developing a low qualified work are in the first group; people doing a skilled job are in the second group: clerks, administrative assistants, etc. Doctors, engineers and nurses are in the \u2018professionals\u2019 group.<\/p>\n When job uncertainty arises, blue collar workers \u2018are less satisfied and less performing workers than the other two groups\u2019,<\/strong> explains Caballer. Facing instability, white collar workers show the highest labour dissatisfaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n But not all the employees face the instability in the same way. Some groups react more negatively when they sense job uncertainty, so the authors suggest not treat the problem in the same way for the different groups of employees in a company.<\/p>\n Temporary or permanent<\/strong><\/p>\n The data from the study comes from the surveys made to 321 employees. 51.4% were people working at hospitals, 25.7% were people working at supermarkets and commercial distribution companies, and 22.9% were employees at temporary work companies.<\/p>\n The average age of the employees was 32 years. 66% had a permanent position and 34% had other types of contract. \u2018For this kind of studies, the permanent or temporary contract is an important variable\u2019, informs Caballer. From all the employees, 74.3% were women and 25.7% were men. It is probably because, as the expert says, \u2018in those sectors most of the employees are women, and thus the most part of the surveys come from women.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From the Asociaci\u00f3n RUVID press release via AlphaGalileo: Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia\u2019s lecturers Amparo Caballer and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Peir\u00f3, both from Facultat de Psicologia, reveals that job uncertainty is directly and… Read more »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,10,8],"tags":[181,271,59,58,143,126,102],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2035,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions\/2035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/therapytoronto.ca\/images\/blogpics\/WorkplaceStress.jpg\" "\\"stressed-out")
Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia\u2019s lecturers Amparo Caballer and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Peir\u00f3, both from Facultat de Psicologia, reveals that job uncertainty is directly and negatively related with one\u2019s satisfaction with life and work, and it affects performance and professional commitment<\/strong>. This study, published on the journal The Spanish Journal of Psychology<\/em>, also stresses that the consequences of that uncertainty depend on the occupational groups<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
