Abstract: The present article investigates the relationship between temporary and permanent employees' job insecurity and employability and their wellbeing. We hypothesize that job insecurity relates negatively to job satisfaction and self-rated health status among permanent but not temporary employees. Employability is hypothesized to contribute more in explaining job satisfaction and self-rated health status among temporary compared with permanent employees. Using a representative sample of Finnish employees (N = 4,104), the results show that quantitative job insecurity relates negatively to job satisfaction, and that qualitative job insecurity relates negatively to self-rated health status among permanent but not temporary employees. No such interactions between employment contract type and employability are found.
