abstract: 'Introduction: There is the tendency in occupational health research of
approximating the `changed world of work'' with a sole focus on the
intrinsic characteristics of the work task, encompassing the job content
and working conditions. This is insufficient to explain the mental
health risks associated with contemporary paid work as not only the
nature of work tasks have changed but also the terms and conditions of
employment. The main aim of the present study is to investigate whether
a set of indicators referring to quality of the employment arrangement
is associated with the well-being of people in salaried employment.
Associations between the quality of contemporary employment arrangements
and mental well-being in salaried workers are investigated through a
multidimensional set of indicators for employment quality (contract
type; income; irregular and/or unsocial working hours; employment
status; training; participation; and representation). The second and
third aim are to investigate whether the relation between employment
quality and mental well-being is different for employed men and women
and across different welfare regimes.
Methods: Cross-sectional data of salaried workers aged 15-65 from 21
EU-member states (n = 11,940) were obtained from the 2010 European
Social Survey. Linear regression analyses were performed.
Results: For both men and women, and irrespective of welfare regime,
several sub-dimensions of low employment quality are significantly
related with poor mental well-being. Most of the significant relations
persist after controlling for intrinsic job characteristics. An
insufficient household income and irregular and/or unsocial working
hours are the strongest predictors of poor mental well-being. A
differential vulnerability of employed men and women to the
sub-dimensions of employment quality is found in Traditional family and
Southern European welfare regimes.
Conclusions: There are significant relations between indicators of low
employment quality and poor mental well-being, also when intrinsic
characteristics of the work task are controlled. Gender differences are
least pronounced in Earner-carer countries.'
