“…The organizational psychology literature demonstrates that particularly job resources, such as job autonomy, job complexity, and job enrichment, are likely to stimulate selfregulation behavior (Bindl & Parker, 2011;Parker et al, 2006). Indeed, studies demonstrate that high job resources lead to higher motivation and ability to continue working (e.g., Havermans, Boot, Hoekstra, et al, 2018;Henseke, 2018;Pak, Kooij, De Lange, & Van Veldhoven, 2018).…”

Although aging workforces result in numerous practical challenges for organizations and societies, little research has focused on successful aging at work. The limited existent research has generated rather diverse conceptualizations of successful aging at work, which are often broad and difficult to operationalize in practice. Therefore, to advance research and practice, we offer a specific and practical conceptualization of successful aging at work by developing a process model, which identifies relevant antecedents and mechanisms. In particular, we define successful aging at work as the proactive maintenance of, or adaptive recovery (after decline) to, high levels of ability and motivation to continue working among older workers. We also argue that proactive efforts to maintain, or adaptive efforts to recover and restore, high ability and motivation to continue working result from a self-regulation process that involves goal engagement and disengagement strategies to maintain, adjust, and restore person–environment fit. Further, we propose that at various levels (i.e., person, job, work group, organization, and society) more distal factors function as antecedents of this self-regulation process, with age-related bias and discrimination potentially operating at each level. Finally, we offer a roadmap for future research and practical applications.

“…Thus, subjective job insecurity has been associated with negative and dysfunctional effects on employees' well-being ( 12 ). Specifically, it has been observed effects on general mental health ( 13 ), depression ( 14 ), anxiety ( 15 ), and even in relation to suicidal ideation ( 16 ), as well as to physical well-being ( 17 ) or specific syndromes related to physical health, as for example heart conditions ( 18 , 19 ). The study of job insecurity has a long history in Anglo-Saxon contexts, and it is still a highly relevant and current topic ( 20 ).…”

Job insecurity is an indicator of precarious work that refers to the fear of losing one's job. It is a relevant source of stress, with negative consequences on people's mental health. The main objective and contribution of this study is to identify how gender inequality and job insecurity are related, responding to the lack of consensus found in scientific literature in this field of study. To do so, a predictive study of job insecurity, broken down by gender, is developed, considering sociodemographic and labor variables as antecedents. The sample included 1,005 employees (420 men and 585 women) aged between 18 and 65, and a linear regression was conducted for each group. Results show that women perceive greater insecurity under precarious working conditions (temporary work, informal work, salary cuts, tenure), whereas in the case of men variables related to their professional careers (job category, education) and household incomes were relevant predictors. It is concluded that job insecurity affects both gender groups, but the conditions in which this perception grows are significantly impacted by gender inequality. These findings will allow for holistic and effective actions to decrease the effects of precarious work.

“…44 Workers with such arrangements typically have a disproportionately high risk for occupational injury, illness, and other adverse health outcomes. [45][46][47] Moreover, job insecurity is a generator of stress, which may lead to negative consequences for workers' mental health depressive disorders 51 and anxiety, 52 as well as their general physical health 53 and heart disease. 54 In fact, workers with poorer physical or mental health were more likely to use prescription opioids as shown in this study and previous research.…”

Background Construction workers are among the segments of the US population that were hit hardest by the opioid prescription and overdose deaths in the past decades. Factors that underlie opioid use in construction workers have been compartmentalized and isolated in existing studies of opioid use and opioid overdose, but they ignore the overall context of their use. This study examines prescription opioid use and its association with a variety of occupational and nonoccupational factors in construction workers in the United States. Methods Data from the 2011‐2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (n = 7994) were analyzed. The prevalence of prescribed opioid use and the association with occupational and nonoccupational characteristics among construction workers were examined in four multiple logistic regression models. Results The odds of prescription opioid use for workers with occupational injuries was more than triple that of their noninjured counterparts when demographics and occupational factors were controlled (odds ratio = 3.38, 95% confidence interval: 2.38‐4.81). Odds of prescription opioid use were higher in older construction workers, workers who were white, non‐Hispanic, working part‐time, and in poorer health, while Hispanic workers and those without health insurance were much less likely to report prescription opioid use. Conclusions Prescription opioid use among construction workers encompasses both occupational and nonoccupational factors. As an insight into opioid use among construction workers becomes clearer, effectively responding to the opioid crisis remains a challenge.
