Based on theoretical considerations of insecurity in work domain and career developmental theories, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the concept of career insecurity.

Moreover, incremental validity beyond related concepts (e.g., job insecurity and perceived employability), a one-dimensional career insecurity scale, and stable individual differences – when predicting the important outcome variables of well-being and health, career success, and job and career attitudes and behaviors–were found.
