“…The results that PD was associated with an increased probability of poor work ability conforms to the findings of several previous studies. A cross‐sectional study reported that PD, measured by GHQ‐12, could explain 47% of the variance in the WAI scores [Guidi et al, ]. Another cross‐sectional study found that perceived health status (i.e., mental health, vitality, role limitations due to emotional or physical problems, pain, general health perceptions and physical and social functioning) rather than working conditions, could explain a large part of the decreased work ability among workers with a chronic health condition [Koolhaas et al, ].…”

“…Since workers with PD are at an increased risk for poor work functioning [Guidi et al, ], it is important to learn if their work ability could be improved by favorable job characteristics. Such knowledge is of value in order to decide whether and if so, what preventive measures to be taken.…”

“…Evidence suggests that the HSE indicator is correlated with mental wellbeing as measured with the GHQ-12 (Guidi et al 2012) and with general (Kerr et al 2009) and job-related (Main et al 2005) anxiety and depression. The HSE standards are also a set of national standards which act as a baseline against which measurements can be assessed (Cousins et al 2004).…”

“…There is also ample evidence that high-risk conditions for work-related stress have a detrimental impact on workers’ health and safety, with a clear relation in particular with cardiovascular diseases [4], mental [5] and musculoskeletal disorders [6] and workers’ psychosocial well-being [7,8]. Work-related stress can also affect an organization’s productivity and competitiveness, with further impact on social and economic costs [1,9].…”

BackgroundWork-related stress is widely recognized as one of the major challenges to occupational health and safety. The correlation between work-related stress risk factors and physical health outcomes is widely acknowledged. This study investigated socio-demographic and occupational variables involved in perceived risk of work-related stress.MethodsThe Italian version of the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Indicator Tool was used in a large survey to examine the relationship between work-related stress risks and workers’ demographic and occupational characteristics. Out of 8,527 questionnaires distributed among workers (from 75 organizations) 6,378 were returned compiled (74.8%); a set of mixed effects models were adopted to test single and combined effects of the variables on work-related stress risk.ResultsFemale workers reported lower scores on control and peer support and more negative perceptions of relationships and change at work than male workers, most of them with full-time contracts. Age, job seniority, and educational level appeared positively correlated with control at work, but negatively with job demands. Fixed-term workers had positive perceptions regarding job demands and relationships, but more difficulties about their role at work than permanent workers. A commuting time longer than one hour and shift work appeared to be associated with higher levels of risk factors for work-related stress (except for role), the latter having more negative effects, increasing with age.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the assessment and management of work-related stress risk should consider specific socio-demographic and occupational risk factors such as gender, age, educational level, job status, shift work, commuting time, job contracts.
