Psychosocial Work Environment and Health: Applying Job-Exposure Matrices and Work Organization and Management Practice [Living Edition]

Résumé

The importance of psychosocial work environment for workers’ health is well recognized. However, a possible causal role of these factors for health is still under debate, mainly due to subjective assessments of psychosocial exposures. The assessment of psychosocial work factors with a job-exposure matrix (JEM), where exposure level is assigned based on the job-specific average of exposure, is not prone to self-reported bias, and may guarantee some degree of objectivity. The aim of this chapter is to overview the evidence on the relationship between the psychosocial work environment and workers’ health based on studies that used JEM to assess the psychosocial work environment. The advantages and disadvantages of JEMs in assessment of psychosocial work-related factors are discussed. The chapter will also discuss the impact of work organization characteristics, management practices, and human resources strategies on the occurrence and prognosis of musculoskeletal disorders. This section may be useful in the context of new forms of work and digitalisation, despite the lack of JEM considering work organisational factors. Work organization characteristics, management practices, and human resources strategies generate domino effects on the conditions under which work is carried out and, consequently, exposure to work-related biomechanical and psychosocial factors. These cascading effects explain why the expected changes in the work organization and management practices following the digitalization of the economy may have major consequences on the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
