Notes. JI = job insecurity. Change-related = organizational change related to one’s work. Change-unrelated = organizational change unrelated to one’s work. Reference category for contract is temporary contract. Reference category for work rate is part-time. Reference category for both organizational change variables is no change. Change-related and change-unrelated could not be correlated because they are exclusive of each other (the participants had to mark only one option). ^***p < .001, ^**p < .01, ^*p < .05
