abstract: 'Aims: Previous studies have suggested that migrants have higher
exposures to psychosocial job stressors than native-born workers. We
explored migrant status-related differences in skill discretion/job
complexity and decision authority, and whether the differences varied by
gender, age, and educational attainment.
Methods: Data were from Wave 14 of the Household Income and Labour
Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. A total number of 9031 persons
were included in the analysis. Outcomes included skill discretion/job
complexity and decision authority. Exposure included migrant status
defined by (i) country of birth (COB), (ii) the combination of COB and
English/Non-English dominant language of COB, and (iii) the combination
of COB and years since arrival in Australia. Data were analysed using
linear regression, adjusting for gender, age, and educational
attainment. These covariates were also analysed as effect modifiers of
the relationship between migrant status and job stressor exposure.
Results: In the unadjusted analysis, only migrant workers from
Non-English-speaking countries (Non-ESC- born) had significantly lower
skill discretion and job complexity than Australia-born workers (-0.29,
95\% CI: -0.56; -0.01); however, results from fully adjusted models
showed that all migrant groups, except migrant workers from
Main-English-speaking countries, had significantly lower skill
discretion and job complexity than Australia-born workers (overseas-born
workers, -0.59, 95\% CI: -0.79; -0.38; Non-ESC-born, -1.01, 95\% CI:
-1.27; -0.75; migrant workers who had arrived <= 5 years ago, -1.33,
95\% CI: -1.94; -0.72; arrived 6-10 years ago, -0.92, 95\% CI: -1.46;
-0.39; and arrived >= 11 years ago,-0.45, 95\% CI: -0.67; -0.22). On the
contrary, the unadjusted model showed that migrant workers had higher
decision authority than Australia-born workers, whereas in the fully
adjusted model, no difference in decision authority was found between
migrant workers and Australia-born workers. Effect modification results
showed that as educational attainment increased, differences in skill
discretion and job complexity between Australia-born workers and
Non-ESC-born migrants progressively increased; whereas Non-ESC-born
migrants with postgraduate degree showed significantly lower decision
authority than Australia-born workers.
Conclusions: This study suggests that skill discretion and job
complexity but not decision authority is associated with migrant status.
Migrants with high educational attainment from Non-English-speaking
countries appear to be most affected by lower skill discretion/job
complexity and decision authority; however, differences in skill
discretion and job complexity attenuate over time for Non-ESC-born
migrants, consistent with an acculturation effect. Low skill discretion
and job complexity, to the extent that it overlaps with underemployment,
may adversely affect migrant workers'' well-being. Targeted language
skill support could facilitate migrant integration into the Australian
labour market.'
