Abstract

The present article investigates the relationship between temporary and permanent employees' job insecurity and employability and their wellbeing. We hypothesize that job insecurity relates negatively to job satisfaction and self-rated health status among permanent but not temporary employees. Employability is hypothesized to contribute more in explaining job satisfaction and self-rated health status among temporary compared with permanent employees. Using a representative sample of Finnish employees (N = 4,104), the results show that quantitative job insecurity relates negatively to job satisfaction, and that qualitative job insecurity relates negatively to self-rated health status among permanent but not temporary employees. No such interactions between employment contract type and employability are found.
