LEIBOVICH DE FIGUEROA, N. et al. Uneasiness due to Job instability and its relationship With psychological strain and personnal resources. Anu. investig. [online]. 2007, vol.14, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1686.

In the last decades job instability has become one of the most important psychosocial stressors and its perception could generate uneasiness and suffering, leading to a stressful state with a consequent increase of strain through one or several of its channels of expression, producing deleterious effects in the psychophysical health of workers. We wonder which workers' personal and job features could be related to a greater uneasiness due to job instability and if this job instability is a predictor of the psychological strain expressed by them. The IMPIL, in its reduced version, and other techniques were administered to a sample of 90 salaried employees. We conclude that job instability has a negative impact on the worker through one of the channels of expression: uneasiness, most of all if there exists a maladjustement between the education level and the tasks performed by the subject. We also confirm that the job instability and the uneasiness produced by it, generate high levels of psychological strain on the worker.
