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.
期刊介绍:
Stress is a normal component of life and a number of mechanisms exist to cope with its effects. The stresses that challenge man"s existence in our modern society may result in failure of these coping mechanisms, with resultant stress-induced illness. The aim of the journal therefore is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of stress which affect the individual in both health and disease.
The Journal explores the subject from as many aspects as possible, so that when stress becomes a consideration, health information can be presented as to the best ways by which to minimise its effects.
