   Instruments: Data Analysis Strategy: First, the factorial structure of the instruments was tested, applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using JASP software version 0.11.1 (extraction methods used: maximum likelihood estimation, VARIMAX rotation), and the following indices were used for goodness of fit: χ2/df, RMSEA, SRMR, CFI, and TLI.	JASP suggested: (JASP, RRID:SCR_015823)
   Finally, to contrast the moderation hypothesis, Hayes’s macro [61] was applied using IBM SPSS 24 software.	SPSS suggested: (SPSS, RRID:SCR_002865)

   Limitations and Future Research: Although the result of Harman’s test indicates the absence of common-method variance effects, the cross-sectional nature of the design only allows us to identify relations between the variables, although these relations were statistically significant. However, despite this limitation, the importance of having preliminary data on the disruptive impact caused by the scale and speed of the global pandemic in Chile justifies the urgency of obtaining an initial approach of the consequences for mental health of work-related variables. Indeed occupational health, job insecurity and job precariousness are three of the ten key areas for research and practice in WOP due to the impact on them by COVID-19 as identified by experts (Rudolph et al., 2020); thus, this study makes an important contribution to knowledge in this context, but it must be broadened or complemented. In this regard, our aim is to continue collecting data on these variables so that longitudinal studies can establish causal relations among them, and to learn with greater precision the long-term effects and perceptions of financial threat and psychological insecurity on mental health. Third, the participants in our study did not form part of a probabilistic sample, so that the outcomes cannot be generalized to the Chilean population. Also in this case, future studies will have to try to access representative samples, or concentrate groups of workers, specific people or contexts (concret...
