While there is a growing body of literature on the
effect of unemployment on individuals, and their marriages
and families, a paucity of research has focused on job
insecurity, or employment uncertainty, as a stressor on
employees and their families. In addition, research on
women in the workplace is relatively new. The incidence and
severity of personal stress among male (n = 79) and female
(n = 53) employees is compared during a period of job
insecurity at a small midwestern university. Patterns of
marital and family functioning for both male and female
employees during the period of employment uncertainty also
are compared. No significant differences were found in
either the incidence and severity of personal stress among
male and female employees or in the way their marriages and
families functioned during the period of job insecurity.
