Grounded in the psychology of working theory, the link between economic constraints and decent work is well established. However, previous studies did not incorporate a developmental framework when examining this relationship. Drawing on a life history perspective, this study explored how childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with well-being through decent work. We adopted a dual-contextual approach, examining the interaction between childhood SES and current job insecurity as a predictor of decent work and well-being. Using data collected from 417 workers in South Korea, we tested a moderated mediation model. The results revealed significant indirect relationships between childhood SES and job and life satisfaction through decent work, particularly among individuals with higher job insecurity. Notably, these findings remained significant even after controlling for participants' current SES. Overall, our findings suggest that in contexts where job insecurity is prevalent, an individual's childhood SES is distinctly associated with decent work and well-being, independent of their current SES.

基于工作心理学理论，经济限制与体面工作之间的联系已得到充分证实。然而，以前的研究在考察这种关系时并没有纳入发展框架。本研究从生命历程的角度探讨了童年社会经济地位（SES）如何通过体面工作与幸福感相关联。我们采用了双重背景方法，研究了童年 SES 与当前工作不安全感之间的相互作用，以此作为体面工作和幸福感的预测因素。我们使用了从韩国 417 名工人那里收集的数据，检验了一个调节中介模型。结果表明，在体面工作方面，童年 SES 与工作和生活满意度之间存在显著的间接关系，特别是在工作不安全感较高的个体中。值得注意的是，即使考虑到参与者当前的 SES，这些发现仍然显著。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，在工作不安全感普遍存在的情况下，个体的童年 SES 与体面工作和幸福感明显相关，而与当前 SES 无关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
