TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Job insecurity, recovery and well-being at work: Recovery experiences as moderators JO - Economic and industrial democracy A1 - Kinnunen, Ulla A1 - Mauno, Saija A1 - Siltaloppi, Marjo SP - 179 EP - 194 VL - 31 IS - 2 N2 - In the present study, the moderating role of recovery experiences in the job insecurity— occupational well-being relationship was examined. Recovery experiences refer to psychological mechanisms (psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery and control during off-job time) facilitating recovery. Altogether 527 employees from a variety of different jobs participated in the questionnaire study. The moderated regression analyses revealed that in an insecure job situation, relaxation buffered against increased need for recovery from work, and psychological detachment impaired vigour at work. The results suggest that recovery experiences can to some extent be a buffer against strain related to job insecurity.
