Social explanations for job insecurity: Group influences on causal attributions

Investigates the social character of the causal attribution process, using the kind of attributions that employees make and the degree in which causal attributions are influenced by social ideas shared by colleagues and other groups. Examines these social explanations for job insecurity on the basis of the results of a survey of job insecurity and causal attributions among employees in the Netherlands. (Original abstract-amended)
