The relationship between perceived job security and employee health was examined in two manufacturing organizations. A significant relationship was found between health and job security using global measures of both constructs. Closer examination of the correlations among the subscales of the measures of health and perceived job security revealed different patterns of subscale relationships in two organizations.
