A Social Systems Approach to Self‐assessed Health and Its Determinants in the Digital Era

Abstract

Placing self-assessed health (SAH) and its determinants within a social systems framework, the current paper aims to investigate the influences of individual characteristics, environmental and socio-economic factors on the way people rate their own health. The multiplexity and dynamics of social structures are examined through the lens of the digital era, which exerts a substantive impact on the individuals' appraisal of reality and capacity of adjusting to the unfolding of the world. Thus, given the digital-centric environment contextualizing the activity of white-collar workers, the study scrutinizes SAH and its determinants based on over 54 000 observations. The findings support the inferred relationships, supporting that SAH is determined by multifield variables to a great extent.

Nowadays, social systems are experiencing new and unprecedented challenges simultaneously driven by external influences and internal dynamics and, thus, a proper capitalization of knowledge management systems emerges as the leeway toward organizational effectiveness (Dominici, 2012; Bratianu and Bejinaru, 2019; Vătămănescu et al , 2018a). The rapid, yet substantial transformations that take place within the organizational realms have consistently reverberated into the focus of both academia and practice, the issue of knowledge management systems immersing into various fields and disciplines (Bratianu and Vătămănescu, 2017).…”
