Job insecurity and wellness of employees in a co–operation
TLDR
In this article, the authors validate the Afrikaans version of the TIS for employees in a co-operation in the North-West Province by conducting a cross-sectional survey design.Abstract:
The primary objective of this research was to validate the Afrikaans version of the Job Insecurity Scale (TIS) for employees (N = 286) in a co-operation in the North-West Province by conducting a cross-sectional survey design. Results demonstrated that the Afrikaans version of the JIS is reliable and valid with two items which need some refinement in future studies. Importance of job features and importance of changes to total job was higher for females. The cultural group 'other' indicated the higher levels of likelihood to lose a job feature compared to White participants. This was also experienced by participants with a qualification level of Grade 7 and lower compared to participants with a degree. Additionally these participants experienced higher levels in likelihood to changes in the total job in comparison to participants with a qualification level Grade 8-9, degree and post degree.read more
