employment adequacy in extractive industries an analysis of Underemployment 1974 1998
Society & Natural Resources, 2004Co-Authors: Tim Slack, Leif JensenAbstract:Marginal employment stands as a major obstacle to the economic health of American families and communities. This is particularly true among those who work in extractive industries. We conceptualize marginal employment as Underemployment, which goes beyond unemployment to include discouraged workers, involuntary part-time workers, and the working poor. Analyzing data from the March Current Population Survey from 1974 through 1998, we find that workers in extractive industries face far higher rates of Underemployment than do those employed in other major industrial sectors. However, this aggregation masks great intracategory heterogeneity. The high rates of Underemployment observed in extractive industries are largely a driven by the disadvantages of those employed in agriculture and forestry=fishing. In contrast, those employed in mining enjoy substantially lower rates of Underemployment. The relative employment circumstances found in each industry are only partly explained by conventional predictors of Underemployment.

Underemployment in America: Measurement and Evidence
American journal of community psychology, 2003Co-Authors: Leif Jensen, Tim SlackAbstract:An important way in which employment hardship has come to be conceptualized and measured is as Underemployment. Underemployment goes beyond mere unemployment (being out of a job and looking for work), to include those who have given up looking for work, part-time workers whose employer(s) cannot give them full-time work, and the working poor. To provide needed background for the other articles in this special issue, we trace the history of the concept of Underemployment, review existing empirical literature, offer a critique of the measurement of Underemployment as conventionally operationalized, and provide up-to-date evidence on the trends and correlates of Underemployment in the United States.

Underemployment and relative deprivation among re‐employed executives
Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Daniel C Feldman, Carrie R. Leana, Mark C. BolinoAbstract:Using a sample of 517 executives who lost their jobs as a result of downsizing, this study examined Underemployment among managers in replacement jobs taken after their layoffs. Laid-off executives who were re-employed in jobs which paid less, were at lower levels of organizational hierarchies and which did not fully utilize their skills had consistently lower job attitudes. In addition, the results suggest that relative deprivation is an important mediator in explaining how Underemployment leads to poorer psychological well-being in those replacement jobs. The article concludes with directions for future research on Underemployment and relative deprivation in the aftermath of layoffs.

The antecedents and consequences of Underemployment among expatriates
Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2000Co-Authors: Mark C. Bolino, Daniel C FeldmanAbstract:While most previous research has studied Underemployment among laid-off workers or new college graduates in domestic settings, this study investigates Underemployment among managers in overseas assignments. Using data from 268 expatriates from six Fortune 500 multinational firms, the results here suggest that several important job- and organizational-level factors may contribute to Underemployment among expatriates: hierarchical job level, assignment tenure, the extent to which expatriates have specific projects to complete, the degree of free choice in the decision to go overseas, the amount of on-site mentoring, and the strategic importance of the overseas site. In contrast to previous research, then, the present study suggests that many expatriates are overqualified, as well as underqualified, for their overseas assignments. Moreover, this Underemployment is negatively related to expatriates' job attitudes, general mental health, and self-reported job performance. In addition, mediated regression analyses revealed that Underemployment is an important intervening link between antecedent and outcome variables. The implications of the results for future theory development, empirical research, and management practice on Underemployment are discussed as well. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Nature, Antecedents and Consequences of Underemployment:
Journal of Management, 1996Co-Authors: Daniel C FeldmanAbstract:Despite the growth of Underemployment in the United States, relatively little theoretical or empirical attention has been paid to this phenomenon. This article presents a multidimensional conceptualization of Underemployment in terms of education, work duties, field of employment, wages, and permanence of the job. The article then presents testable propositions on both the hypothesized antecedents of Underemployment (e.g., economic factors, job characteristics, career history, job search strategies, and demographics) and on the hypothesized consequences of Underemployment (e.g., job attitudes, overall psychological well-being, career attitudes, job behaviors, and marital, family, and social relationships). Directions for future theory development, research methodology, and institutional assistance programs for the underemployed are discussed as well.

Underemployment among recent business college graduates
Journal of Organizational Behavior, 1995Co-Authors: Daniel C Feldman, William H. TurnleyAbstract:This article explores an increasingly salient employment issue, namely, Underemployment of recent college graduates. Using a sample of 283 recent business college graduates, the paper examines the consequences of Underemployment on individuals' attitudes towards their jobs, their careers, and their lives in general. It explores, as well, how recent college graduates cope with Underemployment and the impact of those coping strategies on individuals' psychological well-being. The paper concludes with directions for future research on Underemployment among recent graduates in terms of theory development, research methodology, and public policy formulation.

Gender segregation, Underemployment and subjective well-being in the UK labour market
Human Relations, 2017Co-Authors: Daiga Kamerāde, Helen RichardsonAbstract:This paper argues that gender segregation influences patterns of Underemployment and the relationships that Underemployment has with the subjective well-being of men and women. Previous studies have paid little attention to how gender segregation shapes Underemployment, an increasingly prominent feature of the UK and European labour markets since the economic crisis of 2008. Using data from the UK Annual Population Surveys, this paper examines time-related Underemployment: people working part-time because they cannot find a full-time job. The paper asks whether there are gender differences in Underemployment trends and in the links between Underemployment and subjective well-being. The results suggest that the probability of Underemployment is growing at a faster rate among women rather than men and that Underemployment is most common in the jobs that women are more likely to perform, namely in female-dominated occupations, the public sector, and small organisations. Underemployment is least common in male-dominated occupations and industries and in the private sector. Moreover, for employees with longer tenures, Underemployment has more negative relationships with the subjective well-being of women than with that of men. These findings imply that gender segregation in labour markets is a crucial factor to consider when researching Underemployment and its consequences.

“I Have a Job, But . . .”: A Review of Underemployment
Journal of Management, 2011Co-Authors: Frances M. Mckee-ryan, Jaron HarveyAbstract:This article reviews the Underemployment literature, providing a comprehensive integrative overview of Underemployment research. Underemployment, which occurs when a worker is employed in a job that is inferior by some standard, is linked to a broad range of negative outcomes for employees. This article builds on Feldman’s 1996 model of Underemployment and identifies relevant theoretical perspectives and dimensions of Underemployment, as well as reviewing the empirical research on the relationships between Underemployment’s antecedents and outcomes. Suggestions for future research are offered, with particular attention on career implications, the effects of Underemployment on an employee’s identity, and the importance of “choice” for underemployed employees. Finally, recommendations for improving the methodological rigor of Underemployment research are provided.
