Perceived employability trajectories: A Swedish cohort study
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVES This study identified perceived employability trajectories and their associations with sleeping difficulties and depressive symptoms over time. METHODS The sample was part of the Swedish Longitudinal Survey on Health from 2008 to 2014 (n=4,583). RESULTS Two stable trajectories (high and low perceived employability over time) and three trajectories with changes (increasing, decreasing, and V-shaped perceived employability over time) were identified. Workers with stable low perceived employability reported more sleeping difficulties and depressive symptoms than those who perceived high or increasing employability. CONCLUSION Perceived employability is a rather stable personal resource, which is associated with well-being over time. However, changes in perceived employability do not seem to be echoed in well-being, at least not as immediately as theoretically expected.
