For better or worse? Non-standard jobs and high involvement work systems

Working paper

This paper draws on data collected for the 2001 Skills Survey. It is, therefore, based on 4,005 employee responses - of whom, 907 were working part-time (less than 30 hours a week) and 248 were in temporary positions. The paper examines and compares their work skills and feelings of employment insecurity with full-time and permanent workers respectively.
