Abstract

Affective job disruption is one of the most common problems of informal employees in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). However, whether affective job disruption correlated with job insecurity, job loss and unemployment has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of precarious employment, division of work, inter-role conflict and deviant behavior on affective job disruption of informal employees. The questionnaires were distributed to 1500 informal employees in Vientiane, in the Lao PDR for the period 2018–2019. A structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses, which performs using STATA statistical software program. The hypothesized model showed that precarious employment, division of work, inter-role conflict and deviant behavior are correlated with affective job disruption. This study suggested that affective job disruption has important implications for informal employees when experience over a long-term period. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
