Popis:	This paper assesses the patterns of temporary employment in the food processing industry. Previous studies viewed temporary employment workers as homogeneous groups without focusing on the differences among temporary employees in Nigeria. This study is anchored on work stress models and social comparison or exchange theories as theoretical leanings. A sample size of 40 respondents were chosen for in-depth interviews through the snowball method from 15 casual workers, eight contract workers, six temporary workers, seven outsourced workers and four disengaged workers. The study found a high level of disparity among the various categories of temporary employees.
