Here are the key points I gathered from the document:
- The 2013 US government shutdown resulted in furloughed government contractors not getting paid
and delays. This affected agencies, services, contracts and grants.
- The furlough created uncertainty for contractors about job stability and security. This likely had
negative impacts on their work-life balance, job satisfaction and performance.
- The document proposes researching questions and hypotheses about relationships between the
furlough, contractors' well-being (work-life balance and job satisfaction) and behaviors (citizenship
withdrawal behaviors inwardly and outwardly).
- The purpose seems to be understanding how government shutdowns impact contractors psychologically
