“…A exclusão social também está presente nas formas de trabalho precárias, pois situações ou percepções de instabilidade, ausência de perspectiva no trabalho, longas jornadas ou jornadas muito restritas de trabalho, podem levar a insatisfações, favorecendo a adoção de comportamentos que reduzem momentaneamente as tensões, como o tabagismo e o álcool, entre outros. Condições psicossociais adversas no ambiente de trabalho foram positivamente relacionadas ao tabagismo em estudos já realizados 40,41 .…”

“…All of these studies were based on between-person analysis. The three studies (Steptoe et al, 1998;Shields, 1999;Radi et al, 2007) which found a relationship between working time and smoking appeared as outliers, with the preponderance of evidence suggesting that long working hours did not cause increased propensities to smoke.…”

“…This study identified a u-shaped relationship between smoking intensity and overtime, with those working moderate amounts of overtime smoking less than both those who worked low or high levels of overtime. Radi, Ostry and LaMontagne (2007) studied smoking status and intensity among a cross-sectional sample of 1101 Australians from the state of Victoria. They found that long working hours (50 or more per week) were associated with a higher propensity to smoke among men (but not greater smoking intensity).…”

Research highlightsWithin-person analysis of the working time-smoking relationship.Analysis based on two nationally representative panel surveys.Longer working hours associated with reduced odds of quitting smoking.Former smokers who work long hours more likely to relapse.Increases in hours also associated with increased cigarette consumption. AbstractCigarette smoking is a risk factor in a range of serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke and type II diabetes. Theory suggests that working long hours will increase smoking propensities among workers. Consequently there is a significant body of evidence on the relationship between working time and smoking. Results, however, are inconsistent and therefore inconclusive. This paper provides new evidence on how working time affects smoking behaviour using nationally representative panel data from Australia (from 2002 to 2011) and the United Kingdom (from 1992 to 2011). We exploit the panel design of the surveys to look at within-person changes in smoking behaviour over time as working time changes. In contrast to most previous studies, this means we control for time invariant aspects of personality and genetic inheritance that may affect both smoking propensities and choice of working hours. We find that working long hours tends to increase the chances that former smokers will relapse, reduce the chances that smokers will quit and increase cigarette consumption among regular smokers, and that these effects tend to become more pronounced for workers who usually work very long hours (50 or more hours a week) compared to those who work moderately long hours (40-49 hours a week).

“…For example, low decision latitude, low rewards relative to effort, and other psychosocial stressors at work have been associated with leisure time inactivity, obesity, and tobacco and alcohol consumption. [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90] In turn, such combinations of risk factors may challenge health even further; examples are the interaction of cigarette smoking with physically heavy jobs on the risk of vertebral pathology, 91 and that of body mass index with physical workload on the risk of chronic shoulder disorders. 92 Thus, to be effective, WHP programs should address organizational conditions 93,94 involve employees in decisions about work processes, promote learning, reward appropriately, and attend to interpersonal relationships.…”

A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Workplace Health Promotion and Occupational Ergonomics Programs

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SYNOPSISMusculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and mental health are all associated with the physical and psychosocial conditions of work, as well as with individual health behaviors. An integrated approach to workplace health-promotion programs should include attention to the work environment, especially in light of recent findings that work organization influences so-called lifestyle or health behaviors. Macroergonomics provides a framework to improve both physical and organizational features of work and, in the process, to empower individual workers. The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) is a research-to-practice effort examining the effectiveness of worksite programs that combine occupational safety and health-especially ergonomics-with health promotion, emphasizing the contribution of work organization to both. Two intervention studies are underway in three different sectors: health care, corrections, and manufacturing. Each study features participatory structures to facilitate employee input into health goal-setting, program design and development, and evaluation, with the goal of enhanced effectiveness and longer-term sustainability.

Job stress and other working conditions: Relationships with smoking behaviors in a representative sample of working Australians

Abstract: These results suggest that job stress is related to smoking status at the population level, with different patterns in men and women.
