Effort-reward imbalance, “locked in” at work, and long-term sick leave

Abstract: High ERI is associated with a situation characterized by being locked-in within an occupation or/and within a place of work. The results thereby support the theoretical model of Effort-reward imbalance. The results show that high ERI and being locked in are associated with long-term sick leave. ERI is a potential mediator of the association between being locked in and sick leave.

“…There are no evident differences in the overall associations between public and private sector employees but exposure DISCUSSION Effort-reward imbalance (ERI) was associated with all-cause long-term sick leave (LS) exceeding 2 months among the women, but not among the men, irrespective of their employment sector. This is in line with the findings from the Whitehall II study of British civil servants [10], cohort studies of Dutch teachers [38] and Belgian nurses [39], and Swedish cross-sectional findings [15]. There was a bivariate association for the men but it diminished after adjustment for confounding factors.…”

“…This group had the worst work conditions, most worries about their economic status and comparably poor self-rated health in several measures. In a recent study by Fahlen et al [25], high ERI quota and being lockedin were associated with long-term sick leave. Other studies have shown associations between high ERI quota and different health problems [23,42].…”

“…Changing job may be health promoting for people who are not satisfied with their present job or suffer from ill health due to their job [22,23,24]. Not being able to change job despite wanting to do so has been labeled a locked-in position [23], and is associated with increased risk for ill health [23,25].…”

“…[7][8][9][10] Several cross-sectional studies [11][12][13][14][15][16] and three prospective studies [17][18][19] have shown that ERI also predicts the onset of long-term sickness absence (LTSA). In the prospective studies, ERI predicted LTSA among British civil servants, 17 Finnish public sector employees, 18 and Belgian teachers.…”
