“…High mobility may also impoverish the organization as competence and human capital investment disappear with employees who quit [52]. The results thus give support to the common finding that employer engagement involving support and work place adjustments for sick-listed workers may facilitate health and work ability [2,4,23].…”

Aim: The study aims to identify characteristics associated with long-term expectations of professional stability or mobility among recently sick-listed workers, and to study whether expectations of professional mobility and turnover intentions were associated with duration of sick leave. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on baseline measures in a prospective cohort study of patients who were granted sick leave due to musculoskeletal (

“…A number of studies have shown how interventions at the workplace contribute to return to the original job [1][2][3][4]. These interventions are appropriate for many workers, and contribute to the fact that most people on sick leave resume work within a limited amount of time.…”

“…For example, a systematic review completed by Williams et al examined a variety of workplace rehabilitation programs and found that modified work was most effective in facilitating early RTW, reducing disability, reducing pain and decreasing the rate of back injuries [9]. A similar systematic review conducted by Franche et al examined the effects of workplace interventions on early RTW [10]. They found that accommodation and early contact with the worker following injury reduces disability duration [10].…”

PURPOSE-To determine the association between supervisors' leadership style and autonomy and supervisors' likelihood of supporting job accommodations for back-injured workers.METHODS-A cross-sectional study of supervisors from Canadian and US employers was conducted using a web-based, self-report questionnaire that included a case vignette of a backinjured worker. Autonomy and two dimensions of leadership style (considerate and initiating structure) were included as exposures. The outcome, supervisors' likeliness to support job accommodation, was measured with the Job Accommodation Scale. We conducted univariate analyses of all variables and bivariate analyses of the JAS score with each exposure and potential confounding factor. We used multivariable generalized linear models to control for confounding factors.RESULTS-A total of 796 supervisors participated. Considerate leadership style (β= .012; 95% CI: .009-.016) and autonomy (β= .066; 95% CI: .025-.11) were positively associated with supervisors' likelihood to accommodate after adjusting for appropriate confounding factors. An initiating structure leadership style was not significantly associated with supervisors' likelihood to accommodate (β = .0018; 95% CI: −.0026-.0061) after adjusting for appropriate confounders.

Supervisor and Organizational Factors Associated with Supervisor Support of Job Accommodations for Low Back Injured Workers

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

PURPOSE-Temporary job accommodations contribute to the prevention of chronic work disability due to low back pain (LBP) through the facilitation of early return to work; yet, workplace dimensions of job accommodation are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to determine supervisor and organizational factors associated with supervisors' support for temporary job accommodations for LBP injured workers. METHODS-Supervisorswere recruited from 19 workplaces in the USA and Canada and completed an online survey regarding job accommodation practices and potential associated factors with respect to a case vignette of a worker with LBP. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify the most parsimonious set of factors associated with supervisors' support for accommodations. RESULTS-

Workplace-Based Return-to-Work Interventions: A Systematic Review of the Quantitative Literature

Abstract: Our systematic review provides the evidence base supporting that workplace-based RTW interventions can reduce work disability duration and associated costs, however the evidence regarding their impact on quality-of-life outcomes was much weaker.
