Pc virus attacks in small firms: Effects of risk perceptions and information technology competence on preventive behaviors
While Information Technology (IT) is undeniably useful in improving organizational efficiency, it is also vulnerable: A virus attack can interrupt the work of many employees. Human behaviors, practices and errors are possible causes of a computer virus attack and the consequent infections. Even if preventive behavior is studied in health psychology and other fields, the prevention of personal computer (PC) virus attacks is a fairly new area of research. In this study it is hypothesized that both risk perception of actions that might cause a virus attack and IT self-rated competencies influence the implementation of behaviors aiming to prevent virus attacks. It is also hypothesized that risk perception is related to IT competencies. Employees (N = 134) working in four organizations participated in the study by completing a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to test the model. Results show that risk perception does not have a significant effect on preventive behaviors; in contrast, IT competencies influence the actual preventive behaviors and are related to the perception of risk of virus attacks
Saving and uncertainty: temporary workers\u2019 attitudes on saving and the future
The present research investigates the effects of being a temporary worker on psychological attitudes towards the work and towards economic behaviour. It aims to describe in a sample of temporary workers of an Italian region: a) the socio-demographic characteristics, b) the level of job satisfaction, c) strategies of saving, national and personal financial representations, future orientation and time perspective.
Questionnaires were submitted to 181 subjects, during office time.
Results show that, concerning the work perspective, attitudes to the future are very positive, and presumably not different from the more stable workforce; on the contrary, the financial perspective, show that subjects are rahter pessimistic and temporarily restricted beliefs are present

Effetti psicosociali della flessibilit\ue0 occupazionale
Il capitolo rileva la necessit\ue0 di distinguere, all'interno del gruppo dei lavoratori atipici, sottogruppi di lavoratori che hanno un differente approccio al lavoro atipico. Vengono descritte ricerche nazionali e internazionali relative agli effetti psicosociali della flessibilit\ue0 occupazionale, soprattutto in giovani a rischio di marginalit\ue0 sociale (in quanto in possesso di minori competenze psicosociali, impegnati in settori produttivi meno innovativi e con ridotte oportunit\ue0 di sostegno familiare).
Sono inoltre sinteticamente presentati i risultati di due rilevazioni empiriche condotte su lavoratori atipici residenti nella Regione Emilia-Romagna. La prima ha usato una metodologia di tipo quantitativo, mentre la seconda ha usato un approccio qualitativo
