“…The fact that overqualified individuals in this study had a similar risk of hospitalization for psychiatric disease as job-matched with no academic education, which was not the case for the other disease groups, lends support to a psychological pathway. This is in line with other studies showing an association between overqualification and poor mental health measured through screening instruments validated for detecting risk of psychiatric disorders ( 11 , 31 , 32 ). Regarding the somatic diseases, our results showed that the risk of hospitalization was higher among overqualified workers than among job-matched with an academic education, but lower than among job-matched with no academic education, which may be due to a combination of the above-mentioned factors.…”

Objectives This study aimed to (i) describe the prevalence of overqualification at work among immigrants in Sweden and (ii) analyze any association between overqualification and the risk of hospitalization for somatic and psychiatric disease among refugees and labor immigrants. MethodsWe performed a prospective register study in a cohort of 120 339 adults who immigrated to Sweden in 1991-2005 and were employed in 2006. Education-occupation status was defined as the combination of an individual's highest level of education and their occupation skill level. Individuals were followed from 2007 to 2016 with regard to hospitalization for a psychiatric, cardiovascular, respiratory or musculoskeletal disease or diabetes. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated in a multivariate Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, reason for residence and duration of residence. ResultsThe overall prevalence of overqualification among immigrants with an academic education was 39%.Overqualified individuals had an increased risk of hospitalization for any disease (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.21-1.46) compared to "job-matched with an academic education". However, the risk estimates were lower than that of "job-matched with no academic education" (HR 1.56,. The increased risk of hospitalization for a psychiatric disease of overqualified individuals did not differ from that of job-matched with no academic education. ConclusionOur study showed that being overqualified was associated with poorer health outcomes than jobmatched individuals with an academic education. Considering the high prevalence of overqualification in immigrants, this constitutes a concern, for both society and individuals.

“…Regarding the body of knowledge created around the influence of the level of education on the salaries -as well as on other issues such as job satisfaction or health (Dunlavy et al, 2016;Nyberg et al, 2020;Voces & Cainzos, 2020) -the following main results are shown. Thus, following the statements of the Human Capital Theory, it has been demonstrated that more years of study, in addition to experience and tenure, lead to higher salaries (Liu & Zhang, 2008;García-Pozo et al, 2014;Ons-Cappa et al, 2020).…”

Assessing Educational Mismatch in the Spanish Hospitality Industry

For decades, academics have studied the human resources of many different sectors with a wide range of approaches and methodologies. However, there is still room for analysis on educational mismatch, even more so in the hospitality industry after the COVID-19 pandemic standstill as it is a topic that has been somewhat relegated in recent times. Thus, this study seeks to analyze this phenomenon based on a multinomial logistic regression, which is underused in the human capital-related literature, especially on educational mismatch. The results confirm the influence of several factors such as tenure, experience or skills and quantify their effects on the chances of being educationally mismatched. Moreover, special attention is given to the remarkable influence of the required skills for a specific job position on vertical mismatch. Therefore, this paper updates previous research on the issue but also sheds new light on identifying the main aspects in which employees may focus in order to have better career prospects. The main limitation of this study is the availability of the data, which corresponds to 2018.

“…For job resources, after expending the effort, the working population usually expects to be rewarded with financial benefits, job security, workplace respect, or expectations of promotions [ 20 , 21 ]. When lacking rewards, employees experience reduced job satisfaction and engagement and may become exhausted, ultimately leading to TI [ 10 , 13 , 22 ].…”

Background A stable public health workforce plays an indispensable role in the realization of the goal of health for all. However, there is an exodus of public health workers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Given the limited evidence on the mechanisms shaping turnover intention (TI) among public health workers, the study aims to investigate the triggering mechanisms of high and low turnover intention by combining job demands, job resources, and personal resources through a set theory perspective based on the Job-Demand-Resources (JD-R) model. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted from September 7 to 18, 2020 at district (county) level CDC in Liaoning Province, China. A total of 584 public health professionals were included. Overcommitment, effort, social respect, occupational identity, job rewards, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience were included in the study as configuration factors. The data were gathered through an online questionnaire and were analyzed using multiple regression and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). Results Social respect (B = -0.682, P < 0.001), occupational identity (B = -0.168, P < 0.001), and effort (B = 0.114, P < 0.001) were associated with turnover intention. Five configurations for high turnover intention and five for low turnover intention were obtained through the fsQCA, with occupational identity and effort playing an essential role in all pathways. Moreover, the configurations for low turnover intention are not the antithesis of the configurations for high turnover intention. Conclusion Managers should synthesize the combined effects of factors when implementing interventions and formulating policies. Given the vital role of occupational identity and effort, mechanisms for the rational distribution of work to avoid excessive efforts and measures to promote occupational identity should be implemented to reduce the turnover intentions of primary public health workers and encourage their intention to stay.
