“…As regards the risk of heart attack we found three variables generating a statistically significant relation (opportunity to develop, salary adequacy, social support). Similarly, as for the case of hypertension (with the exception of social support), we do not find the relation with the variables forming the Karasek´s model, unlike the research [18].…”

“…Longitudinal large-scale research on French population [18] proved strong relation between the cardiovascular mortality and the broader range of job-related aspects as the lack of the decision-making freedom, lack of social support at work, job stress and excessive working demands. Using the meta-analysis, research [19] showed the lack of the decisionmaking latitude can increase the risk of mortality due to the coronary heart disease.…”

Research background: The labor markets in the European countries are largely converging under the common platform of the EU legislation. However, the specific labor conditions across the countries still pertain, thus influencing the state of health differently across the countries. Purpose of the article: The article has for objective to reveal the relations between labor conditions (job satisfactions, opportunity to develop, recognition for work, salary adequacy, freedom of decision-making, job stress and social support), on one hand, and the self-perceived state of health, number of chronic diseases and the occurrence of the selected job-related diseases (peptic ulcer, hypertension, heart attack), on the other. The comparison is carried out in the light of the cross-country comparison. Methods: Sample consists of the employed and economically active employees, aged 50+, originating from 16 EU countries, Switzerland and Israel (N = 16 713 participants, females 53%). The data are provided by the EU Share database (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe). We use ranking of countries by means (self-perceived state of health, number of chronic diseases) and the non-parametric regression analysis. Findings & Value added: All analyzed working conditions generate statistically significant relations with the self-perceived state of health at the all countries level. However, at the level of individual countries the patterns differ considerably (what rises methodological concerns on different country samples). As regards the specific diseases, considered as work-related: peptic ulcer is associated with all the working conditions analyzed, hypertension associates with four working factors and heart-attack with three. Findings bring important implications for the HR managers and relevant policy-makers.

“…Much criticism of psychosocial work environment research has focused on the role of potential biases related to the self-reported nature of exposure measurements in most studies on psychosocial working conditions and health, and calls have been made for studies measuring exposures objectively (26,27). While the term objective may certainly also be debated (26), we and other research groups have been making steps to meet this challenge by applying non-self-reported exposure measures (31,32), work unit aggregations (33,34) or job exposure matrices to measure working conditions (35)(36)(37). These measures also have their limita-Editorial tions.…”

“…A high level of work stress (and, in particular, low levels of control and peer support and high workload) has been shown to play an important role in cardiovascular mortality [12] and cardiovascular diseases [13]. It has also been linked to metabolic syndrome (a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes) [14], depressive symptomology [15], and other negative mental and physical health outcomes [16].…”

Stress and mental health at work are the leading causes of long-term sickness absence in the UK, with chronically poor working conditions impacting employee physiological and psychological health. Social workers play a significant part in the fabric of UK society, but have one of the most stressful occupations in the country. The aim of this project was to work with UK social workers to co-develop, implement, and evaluate a series of smartphone-based mental health initiatives. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of semi-structured interviews and focus group and steering group discussions, was utilized to design the mental health and well-being interventions. Study efficacy was evaluated via a pre- and post-intervention survey and post-intervention semi-structured interviews. Interventions developed were psycho-educational, improved top-down and bottom-up communication, and provided access to a Vocational Rehabilitation Assistant for those struggling and at risk of sickness absence. Six months following dissemination, surveys demonstrated significant improvements in communication, and mean score improvements in four other working conditions. This project, therefore, demonstrates that co-developed initiatives can be positively impactful, despite post-intervention data collection being impacted by COVID-19. Future studies should build upon these findings and broaden the PAR approach nationally while taking a robust approach to evaluation.
