Based on theory and research in the areas of role transition, organizational socialization, work-related stress, and psychological contracts, this dissertation presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of likely behavioral and attitudinal responses to temporary employment. The analysis indicates that work history factors, (e.g., number of jobs held over a given period of time), are related to perceptions of stress, satisfaction with temporary work, and overall life satisfaction. Also, duration and frequency of employment within a particular organization are related to job-involvement and affective commitment toward that organization / acase@tulane.edu
