Objectives: Insomnia is one of the most prevalent disorders, and it is associated with various factors. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between perceived job insecurity and insomnia.

Methods: Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between three levels of perceived job insecurity and insomnia using the 2017 Korean Working Conditions Survey.

Results: Approximately 10.2% of the total study population has insomnia. The higher the perception of job insecurity, the greater the chance for insomnia in both men (odds ratio = 4.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.18 to 5.11) and women (odds ratio = 4.44, 95% CI = 3.41 to 5.77).

Conclusion: These findings reveal the sex differences in insomnia, thus suggesting the need to implement different approaches to deal with perceived job insecurity based on sex.

Background: While the benefits of decent work-employment that respects fundamental human rights, ensures fair income, guarantees workplace security, and provides social protection for families-have recently gained scholarly attention regarding job satisfaction, psychological empowerment, and work engagement, its potential to enhance nurses' work ability-defined as the ability to carry out job responsibilities-remains unaddressed. Furthermore, a gap exists in understanding the mechanisms through which decent work influences its outcomes.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate: (1) if securing decent work is associated with elevated nurses' work ability, and (2) if perceived insider status and psychological well-being mediate the association between decent work and nurses' work ability.
