The "Job
Insecurity" syndrome has been a prominent issue in the work force
these recent years. From a study regarding this topic in Taiwan, ever more
corporations are looking into this as a factor to lower risks in business
management. In this paper, the relation between the laborer's perspective,
human capital, employment type, Workplace Relationship, union
participation and job insecurities is examined, mainly focusing on
discussions made in an investigation on how work effects personal life in
Taiwan Social Change Survey:Year 1 of Cycle 5(Questionnaire1). A total of
1107 surveys are taken into account to look into deeper reasons behind job
insecurities, including sentiments such as fear of being replaced and
unemployment anxiety. Using the Regression Model it may be deduced that,
the lower the education level of a subject, the more anxious it is about
losing one's job. On the other hand, the more obstacles a subject has encountered
in previous work experiences, the more insecure it will feel about its
career. Also, an atypical profession's unstable nature also contributes to
job insecurity, along with tensions between supervisors and subordinates.
However, the state of belonging to a union has no significant influence
according to this study.
