Job Security in the Economy
Job Security in the Economy are not secure. Job security today has changed and has come a long way. Job security means the probability that an individual will keep his or her job; a job with a high level of job security is such that a person with the job would have a small chance of becoming unemployed. Job security is about an individuals perception of themself, the situation and the potential. It isn’t always tangible, unless the terms of employment that provide the security are all-encompassing (never happens!). Certain professions or employment opportunities inherently have better job security than others; job security is also affected by a worker’s performance, success of the business and the current economic environment. This makes it hard to define in exact words… but we know Job Security when we see it (or feel it!). For most of us, Job Security is something amorphous – it is constantly changing. Security itself hold a heavy value also. Security defines the quality or state of being secure: as A: freedom from danger : safety B: freedom from fear or anxiety C: freedom from the prospect of being laid off.
Factors Effecting Job Security
Job security is dependent on economy, prevailing business conditions, and the individual 's personal skills. Factors such as culture, education, finance, and health are all contributing effects of job security. There are some internal and external factors that have an influence on our Job Security. A good indicator of Job Security held by the majority of the national workforce is how the business environment fairs – it is often reflected by the country’s unemployment rate and whether the country is in an economic expansion or recession.
