title = {Perception of job security – empirical evidence from Slovenia},
year = {2017},
note = {Traditionally, it is assumed that gender and the type of employment
contract affect the perception of job security. The research presented
in this article was conducted by surveying 1,009 Slovenian private and
public sector employees, and it includes data about six types of
security. Their estimates were compared between employees with
permanent and flexible employment contracts and according to gender.
First, the normality of variables was evaluated according to skewness
and kurtosis values in conjunction with histograms and Q-Q plots. The
differences were then tested with a one-sided Independent Samples
t-test and its non-parametric alternative, the Mann-Whitney test.
Employees with permanent jobs evaluated the possibilities of an
individual to access workplace training higher than employees with
flexible contracts did. Men evaluated an individual’s level of job
security, the opportunity to have resources for a decent life, safe
working conditions, and well-being in the workplace higher than women
did.},
