Abstract

Traditionally, it is assumed that gender and the type of employment contract affect the perception of job security. The research presented in this article was conducted by surveying 1,009 Slovenian private and public sector employees, and it includes data about six types of security. Their estimates were compared between employees with permanent and flexible employment contracts and according to gender. First, the normality of variables was evaluated according to skewness and kurtosis values in conjunction with histograms and Q-Q plots. The differences were then tested with a one-sided Independent Samples t-test and its non-parametric alternative, the Mann-Whitney test. Employees with permanent jobs evaluated the possibilities of an individual to access workplace training higher than employees with flexible contracts did. Men evaluated an individual’s level of job security, the opportunity to have resources for a decent life, safe working conditions, and well-being in the workplace higher than women did.
