Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Labor Economics

Background:

  • Work involvement is often seen as a stable trait.
  • Unemployment challenges the notion of stable work involvement.
  • Longitudinal studies are needed to understand changes in work values and involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine employment status change and work value development over 15 months.
  • Investigate the relationship between employment status change and well-being.
  • Explore the moderating roles of work values and gender in this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study design.
  • Swedish representative sample (n=888).
  • Analysis of employment status changes and work value development over 15 months.

Main Results:

  • Work values demonstrated relative stability over the 15-month period.
  • Long-term unemployed individuals exhibited higher work involvement.
  • Unemployment was linked to negative health effects, specifically among men.
  • No gender differences in work involvement were observed, but women more strongly endorsed an entitlement to work.

Conclusions:

  • Work values are generally stable, but employment status changes can influence work involvement.
  • Unemployment poses health risks, particularly for men.
  • Gender influences perceptions of entitlement to work, but not work involvement itself.
