先前的研究发现,替代性就业安排与福祉受损和改善有关。由于这种不一致很可能源于雇佣合同的类型以及工作的特点,本文将永久性全职工作与替代性就业形式(永久性兼职、固定期限和随叫随到的工作)进行比较,以研究不同的雇佣合同和对工作条件的看法与个人福祉有何关系。这项研究通过解决几个问题对文献做出了贡献。区分不同形式的替代就业,并控制可能与雇佣合同交织在一起的个人背景特征。此外,本研究的范围扩展到感知工作条件的影响,并测试了与就业类型可能的交互影响。对 954 名瑞典医护人员的问卷数据分析表明,对工作的看法(工作不安全感、工作控制和要求),而不是雇佣合同的类型,可以预测健康投诉。然而,就业类型与工作不安全感相互影响,因为不安全感与长期全职员工的福祉受损有关,而对于待命员工或核心兼职员工则没有发现任何关系。尽管雇佣合同与工作要求或工作控制之间不存在相互作用,但可以得出结论,当研究雇佣合同和工作条件的综合影响时,可以增强对替代性雇佣安排与工人福祉之间关系的了解。
Previous research has found that alternative employment arrangements are associated with both impaired and improved well-being. Since such inconsistencies are likely to derive from the type of employment contract as well as the characteristics of the job, this paper compares permanent full-time work with forms of alternative employment (permanent part-time, fixed-term and on-call work) in order to investigate how different employment contracts and perceptions of job conditions relate to individual well-being. This study contributes to the literature by addressing several questions. Different forms of alternative employment are distinguished and individual background characteristics that might be intertwined with the employment contract are controlled for. Moreover, the scope of this study extends to the effects of perceived job conditions, and possible interactive effects with type of employment are tested. Analyses of questionnaire data from 954 Swedish healthcare workers show that perceptions of the job (job insecurity, job control and demands), but not the type of employment contract, predicted health complaints. However, type of employment interacted with perceptions of job insecurity, in that insecurity was associated with impaired well-being among permanent full-time workers, while no relationship was found for on-call or core part-time employees. Despite the absence of interactions between employment contract and job demands or job control, it can be concluded that knowledge about the relationship between alternative employment arrangements and the well-being of workers can be enhanced when the combined effects of employment contract and job conditions are studied.
