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.'
