Abstract The negative outcomes associated with job insecurity have been well established in the literature. Yet, scholars know very little about how job insecurity is related to coworker relationships in the workplace. Informed by the life stress perspective, this study examines the relationship between job insecurity and coworker support among U.S. workers. It also considers whether relationships diverge by gender. We use data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. workers (N = 2,822) to examine these relationships. The results showed that job insecurity was negatively related to coworker support among both men and women, with no evidence of gender disparities. Altogether, the findings suggest job insecurity is damaging to the workplace environment, creating barriers to supportive coworker relationships among both men and women.

美国工人的工作不安全感和同事支持

摘要与工作不安全感相关的负面结果已在文献中得到充分证实。然而，学者们对工作不安全感与工作场所同事关系的关系知之甚少。根据生活压力的观点，本研究考察了美国工人中工作不安全感与同事支持之间的关系。它还考虑关系是否因性别而异。我们使用来自美国工人的全国代表性样本（N = 2,822）中的数据来检验这些关系。结果表明，工作不安全感与男女同事的支持程度呈负相关，没有证据表明性别差异。总体而言，研究结果表明，工作不安全感正在损害工作场所环境，为男女之间支持性同事关系创造了障碍。
