TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Job insecurity and its relation to work—family conflict: Mediation with a longitudinal data set JO - Economic and industrial democracy A1 - Richter, Anne A1 - Näswall, K A1 - Sverke, Magnus SP - 265 EP - 280 VL - 31 IS - 2 N2 - Previous research on the consequences of job insecurity has for the most part focused on individual as well as organizational outcomes, but rarely considered potential family consequences. Based on longitudinal data from Swedish teachers, the present study tests the relation between job insecurity and work—family conflict. In addition, workload was introduced as a mediator in order to contribute to the understanding of the mechanism relating the two phenomena. Gender differences were taken into account when testing this relation. The results provided partial support for workload as a mediator of the effects of job insecurity on subsequent work—family conflict. However, these results were found only for men, indicating gender differences in how job insecurity relates to workload and work—family conflict.
