Anställningsotrygghet, upplevt psykiskt välmående och socialt samspel bland anställda inom livsmedelsbutiker
(2020) PSYK11 20201Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The purpose of the study was to examine if there is a covariance between job insecurity and the experienced mental well-being with the factor social interaction between co-workers as a mediating effect. This was studied through a web survey where experienced mental well-being, social interaction and job insecurity was measured with construct validated surveys. The participants (N=87) were employees at supermarkets, all over the age of eighteen. They were collected by requests via email to supermarkets and by convenience sampling through the authors’ social media that developed into a snowball selection. The results showed non-significant Spearman’s rho correlations between job insecurity and experienced well-being (r= -.20, p = .22).... (More)

The results showed non-significant Spearman’s rho correlations between job insecurity and experienced well-being (r= -.20, p = .22). However, it did show significant differences between experienced mental well-being and the groups of high and low job insecurity (U=624, p= .30), where the group with high job insecurity experienced lesser mental well-being. The results also showed significant correlations between experienced mental well-being and the two variables ‘social support from colleagues’ (r= -.29, p < .01) and ‘social community at work’ (r = -.44, p= <.001). The result meant that a mediating analysis was not possible to make since the requirements for that was not made. The conclusions that were made is that the results support previous research but that the prevailing pandemic might have affected the factors studied and that the results might have been different in another situation.

- Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan anställningsotrygghet och upplevt psykiska välmående med det sociala samspelet mellan kollegor som en medierande effekt. Detta undersöktes genom en webbaserad enkät, där upplevt psykiskt välmående, anställningsotrygghet och det sociala samspelet mättes med konstruktestade formulär. Deltagarna (N=87) var anställda i livsmedelsbutiker och över 18 år. De samlades in via förfrågningar på mejl till livsmedelsbutiker samt via författarnas sociala medier som ett bekvämlighetsurval och utvecklades därefter till ett snöbollsurval. Spearman’s rho korrelation mellan anställningsotrygghet och upplevt psykiskt välmående var ej signifikant (r= - .20, p= .22). Dock visade Mann Whitney... (More)

Spearman’s rho korrelation mellan anställningsotrygghet och upplevt psykiskt välmående var ej signifikant (r= - .20, p= .22). Dock visade Mann Whitney U-test visade signifikanta skillnader mellan grupperna om hög och låg anställningsotrygghet och upplevt psykiskt välmående (U=624, p <.05, d= .52), där den förstnämnda upplevde sämre psykiskt välmående. Det fanns även signifikanta korrelationer mellan upplevt psykiskt välmående och variablerna ‘socialt stöd från kollegor’ (r = -.29, p <.01) och ‘social gemenskap i arbetet’ (r = -.44, p= <.001). Resultatet innebär att en medierande analys inte kunde genomföras, då kraven för detta inte uppfyllts. Slutsatserna som drogs var att resultaten stödjer tidigare forskning i stor utsträckning, men den rådande pandemin kan ha påverkat faktorerna som undersökts och att resultaten hade kunnat se annorlunda ut i en annan situation.
