Arbeitsunsicherheit und Gesundheit

The structural changes and economic crises of the past decades have led to an increase in job insecurity among employees worldwide (OECD, 1997; Eurofound, 2012). Current research suggests that job insecurity is a work-related stressor which can have detrimental effects on psychological, as well as somatic health (Greenhalgh and Rosenblatt, 2010). To date, there is a lack of studies on preventive approaches, especially in work-settings. With regards to the individual and societal implications of job insecurity, the validation of appropriate interventions is called for.
