Task 1 (Zijstra and his redesign approach (Analysis of the work processes,…

- - - - secondary processess (support) = ensure production can proceed undisturbedly
      - tertiary (additional)= not directly related to the main goal, but generally present in the organization like cleaning or catering
      - primary (main) = focused on achieving the main goals of the organization; the primary production process
- - - - manifest function = money
      - Latent function
        
        social contact
        
        status
        
        collective purpose
        
        acivity
        
        time structure
        
        These 5 latent functions; when a person is unemployed, lack of these functions causes latent deprivation, and in effect a psychological distress
        
        These functions can be sometimes satisfied through other means, like political organisations and religion, but not to the same extent as employment
        
        bad jobs as long as they are not dehumanizing are better than no job (still bit controversial)
  - - - but it is not tru when it comes to some other unemployed groups, like stay at home moms or students
  - - - young people possess more social contacts and status, relative to older unemployed people
  - - - 2) whether there is a link between manifest/latent functions and mental health
      - 3) to identify demographic correlates of manifest/latent functions in general population
      - 1) to test whether employed have better access to latent functions relative to unemployed and people out of the labor force
    - - Since the method does not necessarily give representative sample, weights are applied for each person
    - - Employed and OLF
        
        status
        
        manifets function
      - OLF and unemployed do not differ in
        
        time structure
        
        activity
    - - financial situation -.45
      - identity/status -.49
      - other predictors
        
        time structure -.13 (low and not significant)
        
        activity -.18
        
        social contact -.27
        
        collective purpose -.16 (low and not significant)
- - - - American work ethic = protestant work ethic + industriousness
  - - - non-financial employment commitment
  - - - this might explain the fluctuation in responses for lottery question
      - When economy is prosperous, people express more non-financial commitment than when economy is crap
    - - Young vs Old
        
        Older people are more likely to quit
      - Races/Minorities
        
        No effect
      - Women vs Men
        
        Women are more likely to quit their job following a lottery win by 0.1 SD (super small difference but still)
      - People are more likely to quit when economy is prosperous
    - - change in beliefs about productive life and work
      - attractiveness of life after work might have inversed
      - people are more candid to answer questionnaires than 30 years ago
- - - - Many events do not appear randomly
        
        happiness predicts future income and health, as well as other positive life events
        
        HAPPINESS MIGHT PRECEDE EVENTS
      - Study found that baseline level was moderated by several factors
        
        higher income = higher baseline on average
        
        previously unemployed = lower than never-unemployed.
        
        even worse when unemployed multiple times
        
        Difference in satisfaction just after getting fired = 0.5 SD which is fairly high. When unemployed for more than a year = even worse
        
        Reaction to unemployment WAS NOT moderated by previous unemployment
  - - - preliminary analyses show effect of historical bias (fall of Berlin wall f.e.) = decrease in satisfaction before the fall, and huge burst after it happened and then it started to gradually decline
    - - 2 personal characteristics moderate the adaptation (new baseline)
        
        high average income = less negative adaptation
        
        getting unemployed again = much worse adaptation
      - people with high baseline reacted bit worse to unemployment than those with lower baseline. ut effect was small. Also they were less likely to adopt back to the baseline. The bigger the drop the less likely adaptation would take place back at the baseline
- - - - cross-cultural phenomenon
    - - latent functions vary in their effect on well-being
    - - 1) Employed people and OLF have better wellbeing than unemployed
        
        confirmed
      - 2) Employed and OLF have better access to Latent and Manifest benefits (LAMB)
        
        confirmed
      - 3) Effect of employment on psychological health can be mediated by access to LAMB
        
        PARTIALLY CONFIRMED: manifest funciton was biggest predictor for psychologicall distress and LF didnt matter that much (but still okay)
      - 4) Deprivation of LB more likely proceeds psychological distress rather than the opposite (checked with longitudinal study)
        
        Confirmed = especially for social contact, time structure, financial benefits
      - method: 4 surveys administered every 6 months
        
        ANOVA, hierarchical regression, SEM
      - variables: well-being, access to LAMB, employment status
