Grounded in the psychology of working theory, the link between economic constraints and decent work is well established. However, previous studies did not incorporate a developmental framework when examining this relationship. Drawing on a life history perspective, this study explored how childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with well-being through decent work. We adopted a dual-contextual approach, examining the interaction between childhood SES and current job insecurity as a predictor of decent work and well-being. Using data collected from 417 workers in South Korea, we tested a moderated mediation model. The results revealed significant indirect relationships between childhood SES and job and life satisfaction through decent work, particularly among individuals with higher job insecurity. Notably, these findings remained significant even after controlling for participants' current SES. Overall, our findings suggest that in contexts where job insecurity is prevalent, an individual's childhood SES is distinctly associated with decent work and well-being, independent of their current SES.

童年社会经济地位与当前工作不安全感之间的相互作用：体面工作和福祉的双重背景方法。


以工作心理学理论为基础，经济约束和体面工作之间的联系已经确立。然而，以前的研究在检查这种关系时并没有纳入发展框架。本研究从生活史的角度出发，探讨了儿童社会经济地位 （SES） 如何与通过体面工作获得的福祉相关联。我们采用了双情境方法，研究了儿童 SES 与当前工作不安全感之间的相互作用，作为体面工作和福祉的预测指标。使用从韩国 417 名工人收集的数据，我们测试了一个有调节的中介模型。结果显示，儿童 SES 与通过体面工作获得的工作和生活满意度之间存在显著的间接关系，尤其是在工作不稳定性较高的个体中。值得注意的是，即使在控制了参与者当前的 SES 之后，这些发现仍然很重要。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，在工作不安全普遍存在的情况下，个人的童年 SES 与体面的工作和福祉明显相关，独立于他们当前的 SES。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
