The purpose of this article is to analyze the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian musicians’ perception of job insecurity. We collected the answers of more than 200 Italian musicians, and the data showed that musicians’ perception of job insecurity increased in the post-pandemic period. Furthermore, we analyzed the different impact of two objective indicators of job insecurity, the pandemic outbreak and contracts, on strains and resources. We found that contracts are a strong predictor of perceived job insecurity even after the pandemic. Social support is vital in buffering job insecurity perception, motivation is a powerful moderator of emotional exhaustion and turnover intentions, and job insecurity is strongly related to the intentions of leaving the profession. In addition, the analyses have shown that the most detrimental effects are due to subjective job insecurity rather than from its objective indicators. Finally, as this study arose from an Australian research, we provide a brief comparison of the findings.

本文的目的是分析 COVID-19 大流行对意大利音乐家对工作不安全感的看法的影响。我们收集了 200 多名意大利音乐家的答案，数据显示，在疫情后时期，音乐家对工作不安全感的看法有所增加。此外，我们分析了工作不安全的两个客观指标——大流行病爆发和合同——对压力和资源的不同影响。我们发现，即使在大流行之后，合同也是感知工作不安全感的一个强有力的预测因素。社会支持对于缓冲工作不安全感至关重要，动机是情绪衰竭和离职意向的强大调节剂，工作不安全感与离职意向密切相关。此外，分析表明，最有害的影响是由于主观的工作不安全感，而不是其客观指标。最后，由于这项研究源自澳大利亚的一项研究，我们对研究结果进行了简要比较。
