The perception of psychosocial risks exposes workers to develop work-related stress. Recently the attention of scientific research has focused on a psychosocial risk already identified as "job insecurity" that regards the "overall concern about the continued existence of the job in the future" and that also depends on worker's perception, different for each gender.
The aim of this cross sectional study is to show if job insecurity, in the form of temporary contracts, can influence the perception of psychosocial risks and therefore increase worker's vulnerability to work-related stress and how the magnitude of this effect differs between genders.
338 administrative technical workers (113 males and 225 females) were administered a questionnaire, enquiring contract typology (permanent or temporary contracts), and the Health Safety Executive questionnaire to assess work-related stress. The Health Safety Executive Analysis Tool software was used to process collected questionnaires and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to evaluate the statistical significance of the differences obtained.
Workers with temporary contracts obtained lower scores than workers with permanent contracts in all the domains explored by the Health Safety Executive Analysis questionnaire, statistically significant (P<0,05). The female workers obtained lower scores than male workers in all domains explored by the Health Safety Executive questionnaire.
Authors conclude that perception of psychosocial risks can be influenced by job insecurity, in the form of temporary contracts, and increases worker's vulnerability to work-related stress and differs between genders.
对社会心理风险的认知使劳动者面临工作相关压力。最近，科学研究的注意力集中在一种已经被确定为“工作不安全感”的社会心理风险上，它涉及到“对工作在未来持续存在的总体关注”，并且还取决于工人的感知，因性别而异。
本横断面研究旨在表明，以临时合同形式存在的工作不安全感是否会影响社会心理风险的认知，从而增加劳动者对工作相关压力的脆弱性，以及这种影响在性别之间的差异程度。
338 名行政技术工人（113 名男性和 225 名女性）接受了一份问卷，询问合同类型（永久或临时合同）以及职业健康安全执行局问卷，以评估工作相关压力。使用 Health Safety Executive Analysis Tool 软件处理收集的问卷，使用 Wilcoxon 秩和检验评估获得的差异的统计学意义。
在 Health Safety Executive Analysis 问卷所探讨的所有领域中，签订临时合同的劳动者的得分均低于签订永久合同的劳动者，具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。在 Health Safety Executive 问卷所探讨的所有领域中，女性劳动者的得分均低于男性劳动者。
作者得出结论，社会心理风险的认知可能会受到以临时合同形式存在的工作不安全感的影响，并增加劳动者对工作相关压力的脆弱性，且在性别之间存在差异。
