First, we suggest adding a systemic perspective at the mesolevel that considers individuals' nestedness in family and relationship systems, thus looking into how individuals' job insecurity affects close others (i.e., [romantic] partners and family members) and how close others affect individuals' experience of and reactions to job insecurity. To illustrate our propositions, we draw on the crossover model and the systemic-transactional model of stress processes within romantic couples. Second, we suggest adding a lifespan perspective that considers biographic time as a facet of the individual level in addition to historical time on the macrolevel. In doing so, we draw on the notion of path dependence and processes related to social learning.

Despite these consequences, few recommendations exist for how people can effectively cope with perceived job insecurity to mitigate stress-related reactions. Drawing from resource-based stress theories, we highlight job embeddedness, which captures contextual resources derived from on-the-job and off-the-job domains, as a key factor shaping employee's stress-related reactions to job insecurity. Data collected at three time points over 12 months from 483 employees in various organizations in Japan reveals that on-the-job embeddedness exacerbates the positive relationships of job insecurity with both emotional exhaustion and chronic insomnia, whereas off-the-job embeddedness mitigates these associations. This study contributes to the literature by identifying off-the-job embeddedness as a bundle of contextual resources that helps employees cope with perceived job insecurity and demonstrating the contrasting effects of the two dimensions of embeddedness in shaping health-related consequences of job insecurity.</p>","PeriodicalId":48289,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychology-An International Review-Psychologie Appliquee-Revue Internationale","volume":"73 4","pages":"1916-1930"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140795992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars focus on specific links, such as those between entrepreneurs and their local community. Very few papers have to date take a holistic approach, even though studying how entrepreneurs interact with multiple levels of stakeholders over time has the potential to better explain entrepreneurial processes. By following a qualitative research approach using two case studies of policy entrepreneurs in Bolivia and Germany, we show that policy entrepreneurs employ different modes of action over time when interacting with their immediate and wider contexts in attempting to foster policy change.

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 33 Iranian merchant ship officers and developed a grounded theory model of career proactivity in extreme work contexts. Our model delineates two stages leading to proactive career behaviors: The first stage is sensemaking, where individuals wake up to the challenges of their extreme work context, engage in comparative elaboration, and arrive at a settled understanding of the extremity of their work context. The second stage is agency, where individuals engage in experimentation of when they can modify situations or adapt to them, which ultimately helps them choose one of the following proactive career behaviors: exit planning, job crafting, career drifting, and job embracing.
