Longitudinal Survey Data on Financial Stress and Workplace Outcomes

Supplementary files contain data and materials for a psychological study on subjective financial stress. The research involved 711 British employees across four survey waves. Eva Selenko authored the study, with supplementary files last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze within-person changes in subjective_financial_stress scores over four time points to model dynamic effects.
• Correlate fluctuations in financial_stress with concurrent measures of emotional_exhaustion, psychological_contract_breach, and turnover_intentions.
• Test for interaction effects between intraindividual changes in stress and participants' average_level_of_financial_stress on work-related outcomes.
• Replicate the study's statistical models, likely using multilevel or latent growth curve analysis on the panel data.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with four measurement waves from 711 participants.
• Data supports dynamic within-person analysis, a key methodological strength noted in the study.
• Clear provenance from a published academic study with a CC-BY 4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to 232.9 KB, suggesting it contains supplementary files (e.g., codebooks, analysis scripts) rather than the full raw dataset.
• Geographic bias is present, as the sample consists solely of British employees.
• The actual number of data rows and variables is unspecified in the provided metadata.
