| Abstract: | The relative effects of unemployment and quality of employment on the affective states, personal control and work values of school-leavers are examined. Initially, students were surveyed at school and then reassessed two years later when they were either unemployed, employed or continuing their education. Those in employment were categorized as being in good or poor employment on the basis of the degree to which their jobs allowed them to utilize their skills and education. It was found that school-leavers who obtained good quality employment had lower depressive affect, higher life-satisfaction, higher internal control and higher personal competence. There was little difference between the unemployed and the poorly employed one. |
