Abstract

Based on a secondary analysis of the combined data set obtained through of the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) of Russians between 1994 and 2022, the article reveals the dynamics and details pertaining to the ratio of fear levels from losing a job and employment confidence in the event of dismissal in the working population of Russia. According to the results of the analysis, the fear of job loss appears to be constructive when combined with employment confidence in the event of dismissal and destructive when this confidence is absent. Applying the concept of the resource-based view, the author of the article studies the role of biological, vocational, educational, territorial, industrial, economic and behavioral groups of workers’ resources in increasing the level of confidence in employment. It was revealed that the possession of these resources is most inherent in young men (under 35 years of age) who have good health and live in megacities or regional centers. Among the production, economic and behavioral resources, employment in private enterprises and the availability of a second job make the greatest contribution to the growth of employment confidence. Other important resources include unre ported employment and labor mobility. The results of a regression analysis of the impact of all resource groups on the level of employment confidence showed that, regardless of the high level of qualification among specialists (professionals) or skilled workers, the availability of a second job makes the greatest contribution. In general, the analysis suggests that an increase in employment confidence in the labor market in the event of dismissal is more a consequence of the experience of an additional paid work, a change of a job or a profession, than the emotional and psychological state of the individual, his or her education level and professional status
