We tested the theory of relative deprivation in the context of the Polish labour market during the post-crisis period from 2009 to 2015. This period witnessed the highest incidence of temporary contracts in the European Union, providing novel evidence on the causal relationship between the type of employment contract and political attitudes. Our findings suggest that temporary workers are more supportive of income redistribution but less supportive of democracy. Additionally, a shift from permanent to temporary contracts among prime-aged employees leads to a decrease in their support for democracy. Although this effect is modest in magnitude, the article points to an important mechanism influencing shifts in political attitudes. Our findings suggest that the effect of temporary employment on political attitudes is more pronounced among socio-demographic groups less accustomed to unstable employment.

感觉处于不利地位？雇佣合同类型和政治态度

我们在 2009 年至 2015 年危机后时期的波兰劳动力市场背景下检验了相对剥夺理论。这一时期是欧盟临时合同发生率最高的时期，为该类型之间的因果关系提供了新的证据。雇佣合同和政治态度。我们的研究结果表明，临时工更支持收入再分配，但不太支持民主。此外，壮年员工从长期合同转向临时合同会导致他们对民主的支持度下降。尽管这种影响幅度不大，但文章指出了影响政治态度转变的重要机制。我们的研究结果表明，在不太习惯不稳定就业的社会人口群体中，临时就业对政治态度的影响更为明显。
