本研究探讨个人福祉与非典型就业之间的关系，其中包括临时和兼职就业计划。个人幸福感是通过心理健康、总体健康状况、生活满意度和工作满意度等主观指标来衡量的。它涉及四个问题：（1）与从事固定工作的人相比，临时合同工人是否更有可能报告健康状况不佳、生活和工作满意度不高？(2)与全职工作者相比，兼职工作者的情况是否如此？(3)就业概况是否发生变化（例如，从定期合同到永久工作，或从兼职工作到全职工作）会影响个人的健康和生活满意度？(4)在这种关系中，男女之间是否存在差异？为了回答这些问题，逻辑回归模型被用来分析一个小组的近7000名男性和女性工人的前10波英国家庭小组调查，1991-2000年。如果同时衡量健康和就业情况，则在控制背景特征的情况下，非典型就业似乎不会对男子或妇女的健康产生不利影响。然而，有证据表明，季节工/临时工的工作满意度降低，而非全时工的满意度较高。考虑到选择问题并没有改变总体情况：精神和身体健康状况不佳和生活满意度低的机会不受非典型就业的影响，工作满意度的一些影响仍然存在。此外，很少有就业转型似乎是健康结果恶化的结果，这往往是在工作满意度的情况下观察到的。虽然结果模式表明，非典型就业形式不会对工人的健康产生持久的不利影响，但旨在改善处于弱势谈判地位的工人的工作条件的公共政策应特别注意公平问题，包括在非典型就业安排中工作的经历可能对健康产生的影响。(C)2003 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
This study explores the relationship between individual wellbeing and atypical employment, which includes both temporary and part-time employment schemes. Individual wellbeing is measured in terms of subjective indicators of mental health, general health status, life satisfaction, and job satisfaction. It addresses four questions: (1) Are workers on a temporary contract more likely to report poor health and poor life and job satisfaction than those who are employed in permanent jobs? (2) Is this the case for part-time workers compared to those who are in a full-time job? (3) Do changes in employment profiles (e.g., from a fixed-term contract to a permanent job, or from part-time employment to full-time employment) affect individuals' health and life satisfaction? (4) Are there differences in such relationships between men and women? To answer these questions, logistic regression models were used to analyse a panel of almost 7000 male and female workers from the first 10 waves of the British Household Panel Survey, 1991-2000. Controlling for background characteristics, atypical employment does not appear to be associated with adverse health consequences for either men or women, when both health and employment are measured at the same time. However, there is evidence that job satisfaction is reduced for seasonal/casual workers and is higher for part-timers. Taking account of selection issues does not change the general picture: the chances of poor mental and physical health and low life satisfaction are unaffected by atypical employment and some of the effects of job satisfaction persist. In addition, very few employment transitions appear to be consequential for a worsening in health outcomes, which tends to be observed in the case of job satisfaction. Although the pattern of results suggests that atypical forms of employment do not have durable adverse health consequences on workers, public policies that aim at improving the working conditions of workers in weak bargaining positions should give special attention to equity issues, including the possible health effects of experience of work in atypical employment arrangements.
