Abstract

We are grateful for the two commentaries on our lead article on job insecurity, its psychological repercussions and broader social context, which provide important additions, as well as impetus to refine and clarify our arguments. In this rejoinder, we respond to the most important points raised by the commentators: we refine our conceptualization of job insecurity, challenge the idea of job insecurity as a motivator and discuss the role of employees' immediate social context at the meso-level, as well as theoretical explanations for the fundamental mechanisms of job insecurity. We conclude by emphasizing once more the political significance of job insecurity, as well as the need for evidence-based interventions to address its root causes.

只见树木，不见森林：对有关工作不稳定的概念、过程和社会背景的评论的回应

我们非常感谢就我们关于工作不安全感、其心理影响和更广泛的社会背景的主要文章所发表的两篇评论，它们为我们提供了重要的补充，并推动我们完善和澄清我们的论点。在这篇回应文章中，我们对评论者提出的最重要观点做出了回应：我们完善了工作不安全感的概念，对将工作不安全感作为一种激励因素的观点提出了质疑，并在中观层面上讨论了员工的直接社会环境的作用，以及对工作不安全感基本机制的理论解释。最后，我们再次强调了工作无保障的政治意义，以及采取循证干预措施解决其根本原因的必要性。
