本研究采用以人为中心的方法来确定体面工作和不稳定工作的概况，这是由于它们在当前关于美国工作条件不确定状态的辩论中的中心地位而进行的探索。使用体面工作量表和不稳定工作量表，从492名美国工作者的样本中确定了以下五种概况：1）不体面-不稳定; 2）高度体面; 3）低保健-低权利; 4）脆弱性-占主导地位; 5）保健-稳定。通过研究理论上知情的预测因子和结果之间的关系，进一步阐述了这些特征，这些预测因子和结果将区分特征成员。使用心理学的工作理论作为一个组织框架来确定预测因素和结果，研究结果显示，工作意志，年龄，收入水平和教育水平显着预测配置文件成员，和自主权，社会贡献，生存需求，工作满意度和生活满意度有意义的不同的配置文件。对理论，研究，实践和公共政策的影响进行了讨论，强调工作条件的复杂性及其与职业和心理功能各个方面的关系。
This research utilized a person-centered approach to identify profiles of decent work and precarious work, which were explored due to their centrality in current debates about the uncertain state of work conditions in the U.S. Using the Decent Work Scale and the Precarious Work Scale, the following five profiles were identified from a sample of 492 working Americans: 1) Indecent-Precarious; 2) Highly Decent; 3) Low Health Care-Low Rights; 4) Vulnerability-Dominant; 5) Health Care-Stability. These profiles were further elaborated by examining the relationship of theoretically-informed predictors and outcomes that would distinguish profile membership. Using psychology of working theory as an organizing framework for determining predictors and outcomes, the findings revealed that work volition, age, income level, and educational level significantly predicted profile membership, and autonomy, social contribution, survival needs, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction differed meaningfully across the profiles. Implications for theory, research, practice, and public policy are discussed highlighting the complexity of work conditions and their relationship to various aspects of vocational and psychological functioning.
