Abstract
The use of temporary and part-time workers continues to increase, maki ng it imperative that human resource managers gain greater understandi ng of the needs of these employees. New research by the authors identi fy the areas of greatest discontent: employment insecurity, resentment at impersonal treatment, feelings of being ''underemployed,'' and the like. The article ends with suggestions on how employers can draft po licies to help make temporary workers happier and more productive.
