摘要本研究探讨临时工的工作不安全感和幸福感差异是否与临时工的续约意愿和期望有关。假设：(1)低意志与高工作不安全感之间存在间接关联；(2)临时工对合同续签的期望削弱了低意志与高工作不安全感以及高工作不安全感与幸福感受损之间的联系。基于1755名受雇于教育、制造业和服务业的临时工的国际数据集的结果支持了第一个假设，部分也支持了第二个假设。更具体地说，对临时合同的低偏好与较高的工作不安全感、较低的工作满意度、健康受损和较高的烦躁情绪有关。契约期望为这种间接关系设定了边界条件；然而，高工作不安全感与幸福感受损之间的负相关关系没有减弱，而是加强了。综上所述，尤其是那些合同意愿低、工作不安全感高、对续签合同期望高的临时工，他们的福利受损的风险更大。因此，本研究揭示了临时工作意愿和预期续约与工作不安全感和个人幸福感之间的关系。
This study investigates whether temporary contract volition and workers' expectations for contract renewal are boundary conditions to explain differences in temporary workers' job insecurity feelings and well-being. It is hypothesized that (1) low volition through higher job insecurity indirectly associates with lower well-being and that (2) temporary workers' expectations of contract renewal weakens the links between both low volition and high job insecurity and high job insecurity and impaired well-being. Results based on an international data set of 1755 temporary workers employed in the education, manufacturing, and service sectors supported the first hypothesis and partly also the second. More specifically, low preferences for temporary contracts associated via higher job insecurity with lower job satisfaction, impaired health, and higher irritation. Contract expectations placed a boundary condition upon this indirect relation; however, the negative association between high job insecurity and impaired well-being was not weakened but strengthened. In conclusion, particularly temporary workers with low contract volition and high job insecurity feelings, who have high expectations for contract renewal are at risk for impaired well-being. Hence, this study sheds light onto the question how volition for temporary work and expected contract renewal relate to job insecurity and associate with individual well-being.
