Performance in low-quality jobs

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting Abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Low-quality employment is an area that has not been sufficient studied by the Work-Organizational Psychology (WOP) despite around 30% of the world labour force work under these conditions. This study reviews the usefulness of the traditional methods and indicators used by WOP to measure the performance in the low-quality job population (especially for workers outside formal organizations). A comparison is made using subjective and objective measures of job performance at the organizational, group and individual level. Results showed the need to adjust the job-performance assessment methodology for this population. Implications for employability and social policies will be discussed.
