The Impact of Precarious Work on Subjective Well-Being across Europe: Does Labour Legislation Matter?
Social Forces. 2015.
Karabchuk T., Soboleva N.
This paper deals with the interdependence of precarious wok and subjective well-being in European countries based on European Social Survey data of 2010. The goal of the paper was to disclose the cross-countries relation of subjective well-being and precarious work through labour market institutions measured by the Employment protection legislation indices, produced by OECD in 2010. In line with previous research, the study demonstrates the negative impact of precarious jobs on subjective well-being. However, the main findings contribute to the literature by identifying different results for countries with strict and liberal employment legislations. Temporary employment negatively affects subjective well-being in countries with rigid employment protection legislation, while we do not see this effect for countries with liberal labour legislation.

Elaborating on Welzel et al.'s "Cool Water Theory," our study zooms into the more limited (albeit still varied) framework conditions of Russia's huge territory. Within Russia's confines, we examine how the combination of moderately cool seasons with steady rain (i.e., Cool Water) affects sub-national areas' contemporary societal progress in two modernization indicators: material prosperity in ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

The study of subjective well-being remains a central topic in contemporary psychology, reflecting a sustained scholarly interest in the factors that contribute to individuals’ positive life evaluations. While socio-demographic and economic determinants are well-established, research increasingly focuses on relational variables, particularly the quality of intimate bonds. A robust body of evidence indicates that high-quality social ...

This paper attempts to model the evolutionary theory of modernization and democratization. The model reflects the key provisions of R. Inglehart and C. Welzel's theory and provides a microfoundation for the adaptation of subjective values to the objective importances of the survival factors and the structure of the labour markets from the perspective of evolutionary ...

The Ukrainian crisis, like all past conflicts, will sooner or later come to an end, and Russia will continue its historical existence. This makes it possible, even now, to contemplate the question of what its foreign policy might look like in the post-crisis future. During the conflict, which has profoundly influenced not only the existence ...

We argue that a classification-based approach to measuring cultural differences across countries or subnational regions is a promising complement, and sometimes an alternative, to the widely used dimensional method in cross-cultural research. The latter summarises cultural variation using continuous dimensions, for example, Hofstede’s famous individualism-collectivism dimension. However, this approach relies on strong parametric assumptions, which are ...

Non-probability web surveys offer several advantages over face-to-face (F2F) interviews—they are cheaper, faster, more accessible, and reduce interviewer effects and desirability bias. As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research. However, they often yield demographically biased samples, raising concerns about the accuracy of the resulting public opinion estimates. Most studies on ...

The impostor phenomenon describes a maladaptive personality style marked by persistent self-doubt and fear of being exposed as a fraud despite evident success. Despite its global relevance, the construct’s cross-cultural measurement invariance has not yet been empirically established. This study assessed the measurement invariance of the Impostor-Profile 30 across six European countries (N= 2472; 60.0% ...

Research of the impact of kin alloparenting on reproduction mainly focuses on mother’s parents and parents-in-law. The impact on fertility of extended families and the alloparental help with childcare they can provide has received much less attention. Moreover, there is an important lacuna in the existing studies of this problem, as it is mostly approached ...

Для понимания какого-либо качества, как правило, выбирается, некоторая подходящая для его оценки шкала (скажем, от 1 до 5), и, согласно этой шкале, качеству присваиваются одна или несколько оценок. Эти оценки затем преобразуются в одну, “усредненную”, оценку; например, выбирается среднее арифметическое. Так, несданная сессия с тремя баллами 5, 2 и 5 “характеризуется’’ средней оценкой хорошо: (5+2+5)/3 = ...

The aim of the study was to examine the role of social beliefs in life satisfaction among supporters of equal/unequal income distribution. The current study tested a model in which social beliefs ...

The notion of “political accommodation” applied to the theory and practice of managing cultural diversity could enrich the Russian academic dictionary. Liberal democratic states invented specific mechanisms for political accommodation of cultural differences. Thanks to these mechanisms, the part of the population of a democratic state that is not ready to dissolve into the ethnocultural ...
