ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to identify developmental patterns of job insecurity, taking into account quantitative as well as qualitative job insecurity, and to examine if these groups vary with regard to different work-related learning aspects, that is, occupational self-efficacy, learning from supervisor and colleagues, and acquired knowledge and skills (KSAOs). We conducted latent class growth analysis using three-wave data of 1366 Dutch employees. Five job insecurity patterns were identified: (1) high stable (n = 132), (2) moderate-low stable (n = 555), (3) low stable (n = 217), (4) decreasing (n = 357) and (5) increasing (n = 105). In every class, the change pattern was similar for quantitative and qualitative job insecurity. Those in trajectories with high initial levels of job insecurity had lower initial levels of occupational self-efficacy, learning from others, and KSAOs than those with low initial levels of job insecurity. Additionally, job insecurity trajectories differed in the development of occupational self-efficacy over time. The findings indicate that there are distinct trajectories of the combination of quantitative and qualitative job insecurity, and that these demonstrate a substantial amount of heterogeneity concerning work-related learning.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定工作不安全感的发展模式，同时考虑定量和定性的工作不安全感，并检查这些群体在与工作相关的不同学习方面是否存在差异，即职业自我效能感，向主管和同事学习，并获得知识和技能 (KSAO)。我们使用 1366 名荷兰员工的三波数据进行了潜在的阶级增长分析。确定了五种工作不安全模式：（1）高稳定（n = 132），（2）中低稳定（n = 555），（3）低稳定（n = 217），（4）下降（n = 357） ) 和 (5) 增加 (n = 105)。在每个班级中，定量和定性工作不安全感的变化模式相似。那些处于工作不安全初始水平较高的轨迹中的人，其职业自我效能的初始水平较低，向他人学习，并且 KSAO 比那些初始工作不安全水平低的人学习。此外，随着时间的推移，职业自我效能感的发展轨迹不同。研究结果表明，定量和定性工作不安全感的结合存在不同的轨迹，这些轨迹表明与工作相关的学习存在大量异质性。
