Abstract:
This study examined the crossover effect of paternal job insecurity on youth's perceived employability. Integrating crossover theory with conservation of resources theory, we posited that paternal job insecurity negatively impacted youth's perceived employability through youth's perceived paternal career support. As well, we hypothesized that maternal financial contribution to the household and emotional support for youth influence this indirect relationship. Data were collected from a sample of undergraduate students and their fathers in Singapore. Results supported the crossover effect of paternal job insecurity on youth's perceived employability through youth's perceived paternal career support. Maternal financial contribution to the household weakened the negative indirect relationship between paternal job insecurity and youth's employability, while maternal emotional support for youth did not significantly moderate this relationship. This research advances our understanding of the crossover effect of paternal job insecurity on youth and identifies an important boundary condition that mitigates the negative effect of paternal job insecurity.
