Theoretical and empirical research has provided mixed arguments and evidence for the effects of temporary agency work on workers' well-being. This study aims to go one critical step further by comparing the workplace and general well-being of workers who continue to have this employment status with others who obtain a direct contract and others who remain unemployed.
Temporary agency workers longitudinal data (n = 289) was used, and three groups were compared: (1) maintaining a temporary agency contract (n = 187), (2) obtaining a direct contract (n = 57), and (3) remaining unemployed (n = 45).
Covariance analyses adjusted for background variables showed that those who obtained a direct contract experienced a decrease in job insecurity but experienced an increase in job demands, while those who continued to have a temporary agency contract maintained these job conditions. However, in terms of workplace well-being, the temporary agency contract was not found to be more detrimental than a direct contract, but in terms of life satisfaction, unemployment was found to be more detrimental than other transitions.
A temporary agency contract does not have an inevitable negative effect on workers' well-being.
理论和实证研究对于临时工作中介就业对工人福祉的影响给出了复杂的观点和证据。本研究旨在更进一步，通过比较继续保持这种就业状态的工人与获得直接合同的工人以及仍处于失业状态的工人在工作场所和总体福祉方面的情况。
使用了临时工作中介工人纵向数据（n = 289），并比较了三组：（1）维持临时工作中介合同（n = 187），（2）获得直接合同（n = 57），以及（3）仍处于失业状态（n = 45）。
针对背景变量进行调整后的协方差分析表明，获得直接合同的人工作不安全感降低，但工作要求增加，而继续持有临时工作中介合同的人保持了这些工作条件。然而，在工作场所福祉方面，未发现临时工作中介合同比直接合同更具危害性，但在生活满意度方面，发现失业比其他转变更具危害性。
临时工作中介合同对工人福祉并非必然产生负面影响。
