نبذة مختصرة : The primary aim of this three-wave 10-year follow-up study was to investigate the intra-individual change trajectories of job-related affective well-being among Finnish managers (n = 402). Job-related affective well-being as indicated by anxiety, depression, comfort, and enthusiasm was measured in 1996, 1999, and 2006. The characteristics of the trajectories were sought from experienced career disruptions (i.e., periods of unemployment or lay-offs) and perceived job insecurity. The growth mixture modelling (GMM) revealed altogether three latent trajectories that differed from each other in their mean levels and regard to changes in job-related affective well-being over time: (1) high and improving well-being (n = 347), (2) decreased well-being (n = 32), and (3) low and improving well-being (n = 23). The associations between job-related affective well-being trajectories and career disruptions depended upon the timing of the career disruptions. In addition, perceived job insecurity is associated with concurrently decreased occupational well-being. Overall, the results highlighted both typical and untypical development trajectories of job-related affective well-being and related career characteristics. The present longitudinal study extends in three waves over a 10-year time period to examine intra-individual change trajectories of job-related affective well-being. The construct of job-related affective well-being is dissected according to Warr's (1987, 2007) theoretical model, which takes into account both positive (i.e., comfort and enthusiasm) and negative (i.e., anxiety and depression) affective states experienced at work. The factors associated with the trajectories of job-related affective well-being are sought from experienced career disruptions (i.e., periods of unemployment or lay-offs) and individuals' career outlook measured in terms of perceived job insecurity for which we utilized the framework of the Vitamin Model (Warr, 1987, 2007).
