Zusammenfassung
Die Sicherheit des eigenen Arbeitsplatzes nimmt für die meisten Menschen eine wichtige Bedeutung in ihrem Leben ein. Erleben Personen ihre Stelle als unsicher, stellt dies einen karrierebezogenen Stressor dar, der typischerweise mit geringerem Wohlbefinden und geringerer Arbeitszufriedenheit einhergeht. Da Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer aus diesen Gründen unsichere Stellen vermeiden wollen, wirkt sich die Situation der Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit auch auf zahlreiche Aspekte ihrer Laufbahn und Karriere aus. Diese zentrale These belegen wir – nach einer Einführung in das Konstrukt Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit – mit einer Reihe von empirischen Befunden. Abschließend fassen wir die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse zusammen und leiten Forschungsdesiderate ab.
