“…Supervisor Autonomy-Three questions concerning supervisor autonomy were developed and modeled after the construct of decision latitude, a factor included in the Job Content Questionnaire [32]. The three questions asked supervisors to rate their flexibility to recommend specific job accommodation, make decisions about workplace accommodation, and "have a say" in employer decisions about workplace accommodation.…”

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.

“…The battery of items on quality of work in the SHARE questionnaire is based on selected probes from the Job Content Questionnaire (the demand-control model) (Karasek et al 1998) and the effort-reward imbalance model (Siegrist 1996). The control dimension covered by the Job Content Questionnaire is captured by two items (''enough freedom in doing the job'' and ''opportunity to develop new skills'').…”

“I want to break free”. The role of working conditions on retirement expectations and decisions

2014

We investigate the role of working conditions on the desire to retire as soon as possible and on the probability of transition from employment to either full or partial retirement, using different measures of work quality. We find that low work quality strongly correlates with the desire to retire as soon as possible of ''young-old'' workers. This might be explained by the deterioration of employer-employee match with age due to reduced incentives for firms to invest in training and work practises that enhance workability of their senior workers. When we move from intentions to decisions, the role of work quality is less clear-cut and it mainly plays a role in the transitions from employment to full retirement.

“…Psychosocial work factors included job demand, job control, effort, reward, and safety climate. The Job Content Questionnaire subscales were used to measure job demand (five items) and job control (nine items) (Karasek et al, 1998); job strain was calculated as the ratio of demand to control. The Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire was used to measure effort (six items) and reward (11 items); an ERI ratio was calculated as the ratio of effort to reward with a correction factor applied to resolve the number difference in the two scales (Siegrist et al, 2004).…”
