Associations between Quantitative, Qualitative Job Insecurity and Well-being

Research questions
De Witte et al. (2010) investigated the association of employee's perception of quantitative and qualitative job insecurity with job satisfaction, and psychological distress in the Belgium banking sector.

Job insecurity is defined as the employees' concerns about their work-related future. There are two kinds of job insecurities, the quantitative job insecurity and the qualitative job insecurity. The quantitative job insecurity is about the threat to the continuation of the job in the future.
