### Hypotheses Testing  
To test the hypotheses, three mediations were performed through medmod module of Jamovi (The Jamovi project, 2021) [32]. Material difficulties were used as a predictor, qualitative and quantitative job insecurity were used as mediators, work meaning was also used as a mediator, and mental health, respectively depression, anxiety, stress were used as dependent variables. Figures 1-3 present the mediation diagrams. Figure 1: Model diagram for qualitative and quantitative job insecurity, and work meaning as mediators in the relationship between material difficulties and depression. Figure 2: Model diagram for qualitative and quantitative job insecurity, and work meaning as mediators in the relationship between material difficulties and anxiety. Material difficulties were not directly associated with depression but were significantly and positively associated with qualitative job insecurity (\(\beta\) = 0.40, \(Z\) = 6.11, \(p\) < 0.01) and quantitative job insecurity (\(\beta\) = 0.32, \(Z\) = 4.84, \(p\) < 0.01). Qualitative job insecurity is positively associated with depression (\(\beta\) = 0.35, \(Z\) = 5.02, \(p\) < 0.01), but quantitative job insecurity is not associated with depression. Work meaning is negatively associated with depression (\(\beta\) = \(-\)0.20, \(Z\) = \(-\)3.07, \(p\) < 0.01). Qualitative job insecurity mediates the relationship between material difficulties and depression (\(\beta\) = 0.14, \(Z\) = 3.88, \(p\) < 0.01). Neither quantitative job insecurity, nor work meaning mediates this relationship. The results are presented in Table 3.  
Material difficulties were not directly associated with anxiety, but were significantly and positively associated with qualitative and quantitative job insecurity, as we already reported in Table 3. Qualitative job insecurity is positively associated with anxiety (\(\beta\) = 0.43, \(Z\) = 6.32, \(p\) < 0.01), and quantitative job insecurity is weaker and negatively associated with anxiety (\(\beta\) = \(-\)0.14, \(Z\) = \(-\)2.08, \(p\) < 0.05). Work meaning is negatively associated with anxiety (\(\beta\) = \(-\)0.18, \(Z\) = \(-\)2.90, \(p\) < 0.01). Qualitative job insecurity mediates the relationship between material difficulties and anxiety (\(\beta\) = 0.17, \(Z\) = 4.39, \(p\) < 0.01). Neither quantitative job insecurity, nor work meaning mediates this relationship. The results are presented in Table 4.
