Abstract:

This study addresses two central issues concerning labor market transformations. The first question asks how declining job security is embedded in changing labor market conditions, which in turn constrains and conditions labor market behavior such as the propensity to engage in job search activities. The second question deals with whether or not unionization, despite of its continuing decline, would moderate the effects of adverse labor market conditions on perceived job insecurity and potential labor turnover. Hypotheses developed from the perspective of labor market flexibility are tested against data from the February 1999 Current Population Survey. Results suggest that nonstandard employment and secondary jobs significantly increase the likelihood of perceiving job insecurity and the propensity to search for alternative job opportunities. However, unionization has no significant effect on perceived job insecurity and potential labor turnover in flexible and segmented labor market conditions.
