Evans-Lacko, Sara & Martin Knapp (2014): Importance of social and cultural factors for attitudes, disclosure and time off work for depression. Findings from a seven country European study on depression in the workplace. In: PLoS one, Jg. 9, H. 5, S. 1-10. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0091053
Abstract
"Objectives: Depression is experienced by a large proportion of the workforce and associated with high costs to employers and employees. There is little research on how the social costs of depression vary by social and cultural context. This study investigates individual, workplace and societal factors associated with greater perceived discomfort regarding depression in the workplace, greater likelihood of employees taking time off of work as a result of depression and greater likelihood of disclosure of depression to one's employer.
Methods: Employees and managers (n = 7,065) were recruited from seven European countries to participate in the IDEA survey. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations between individual characteristics and country contextual characteristics in relation to workplace perceptions, likelihood of taking time off work and disclosing depression to an employer.
Results: Our findings suggest that structural factors such as benefit systems and flexible working hours are important for understanding workplace perceptions and consequences for employees with depression. However, manager responses that focus on offering help to the employee with depression appear to have stronger associations with positive perceptions in the workplace, and also with openness and disclosure by employees with depression.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of individual, workplace and societal factors that may be associated with how people with depression are perceived and treated in the workplace, and, hence, factors that may be associated with openness and disclosure among employees with depression. Some responses, such as flexible working hours, may be helpful but are not necessarily sufficient, and our findings also emphasise the importance of support and openness of managers in addition to flexible working hours."

Abstract
"Anhand ausgewählter Ergebnisse der fünften Erhebung des European Working Conditions Survey und einer Stichprobe von 29.000 unselbstständig Beschäftigten aus 27 EU-Ländern zeigt der vorliegende Beitrag Unterschiede im Stresserleben auf. Betrachtet werden einerseits Stressempfindungen in Zusammenhang mit aktuellen arbeitspsychologischen Forschungsfeldern wie Emotionsarbeit und soziale Unterstützung durch Führungskräfte sowie andererseits Unterschiede im Stresserleben je nach wöchentlichem Arbeitszeitausmaß, Arbeitstempo und Umgebungsbedingungen wie Lärm. Dabei zeigen sich - trotz unterschiedlicher Arbeitsbedingungen in den einzelnen Ländern, Branchen und Berufen - gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten, Strukturen und Mechanismen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"Die öffentliche Verwaltung und die öffentlichen Dienstleistungen waren in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten tiefgreifenden Veränderungen unterworfen, die auch zu einer Umwälzung der Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsbedingungen geführt haben. In diesem Beitrag geht es um die Frage, wie die Beschäftigten diese Transformation wahrnehmen und welche Folgen für ihr berufliches Selbstverständnis sich daraus ergeben. Aufbauend auf empirischen Erhebungen in einer österreichischen Stadt werden die Deutungen der Veränderungen und das berufliche Selbstverständnis von Gemeindebediensteten im Rathaus, von Ärzt/innen und Pfleger/innen im Gemeindekrankenhaus und von Zusteller/innen und Schalterbediensteten bei der Post dargestellt. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass die Wahrnehmungen, Deutungen und Reaktionen leichter verständlich werden, wenn man von einem dreifachen Bezug zur Arbeit ausgeht, also die Arbeitskraft- und die Subjekt-Perspektive sowie das Ethos der öffentlichen Dienste in die Analyse einbezieht."

García-Serrano, Carlos & Miguel Á. Malo (2014): How disability affects absenteeism: An empirical analysis for six European countries. In: International Labour Review, Jg. 153, H. 3, S. 455-471. DOI:10.1111/j.1564-913X.2014.00210.x
Abstract
"Using data from the European Community Household Panel for six European countries (Austria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) for the period 1995 - 2001, this article investigates how disability affects workers' absenteeism. The results show that workers with disabilities are absent more often than workers without disabilities. This finding is obtained after controlling for individuals' self-reported health, visits to doctors and nights spent in hospital. The severity of disability is also a relevant factor in higher absenteeism. The total effect of disability on absenteeism amounts to a marginal increase of six to 26 days per year (depending on the country)." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Gerich, Joachim (2014): Präsentismus. Krank und doch in der Arbeit? In: Wiso. Wirtschafts- und sozialpolitische Zeitschrift des ISW, Jg. 37, H. 2, S. 31-49.
Abstract
"Unter Präsentismus wird das Verhalten verstanden, trotz Erkrankung, welche Krankenstand rechtfertigen würde, zur Arbeit zu gehen. Der Beitrag berichtet neben einem Überblick zum Stand der Forschung Ergebnisse einer oberösterreichischen Untersuchung. Es wird abgeleitet, dass sich die Präsentismushäufigkeit - genauso wie die Krankenstandshäufigkeit - aus zwei Komponenten zusammensetzt. Einerseits spiegeln beide Größen die Vulnerabilität (d.h. die Erkrankungshäufigkeit) von Arbeitnehmerinnen wider. Damit können sie im Umkehrschluss auch als Gesundheitsindikatoren verwendet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen jedoch, dass Krankenstandshäufigkeiten im Vergleich zu Präsentismushäufigkeiten einen deutlich schlechteren Gesundheitsindikator darstellen. Die zweite Komponente ergibt sich aus der Präsentismusneigung, womit die Entscheidung zugunsten Präsentismus bei Vermeidung von Krankenstand gemeint ist. Die Präsentismusneigung wird vor allem durch persönliche Einstellungen, aber auch durch Handlungsspielraum, Ersetzbarkeit, Wertschätzung, Betreuungspflichten und Möglichkeiten der Work-Life-Balance beeinflusst."

Gustman, Alan L. & Thomas L. Steinmeier (2014): The role of health in retirement. (NBER working paper 19902), Cambridge, Mass., 56 S. DOI:10.3386/w19902
Abstract
"This paper constructs and estimates a dynamic model of the evolution of health for those over the age of 50 and then embeds that model of health dynamics in a structural, econometric model of retirement and saving.
The health model traces the effects of smoking, obesity, alcohol consumption, depression and other proclivities on medical conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, cancer, lung disease, heart problems, stroke, psychiatric problems and arthritis. These in turn influence an overall index of health status based on self-reported health, work limitations and ADLs, which is used to classify the population into good, fair, poor or terrible health.
Compared to a situation where the entire population is in good health, the current health status of the population reduces the retirement age of the entire population by an average of about one year. While poor health or terrible health have a great impact on the disutility of work and thus on retirement, fair health as opposed to good health has a relatively minor effect. Smoking depresses full-time work effort by up to 3.5 percentage points by those in the early sixties, reducing the average retirement age by four to five months. Effects of trends in health care and health policies on retirement are also analyzed.
Including detailed measurement of health dynamics in a retirement model improves understanding of the effects of health on retirement. It does not, however, influence estimates of the marginal effects of economic incentives on retirement." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

Houten, Gijs van, Jorge Cabrita & Oscar Vargas (2014): Working conditions and job quality. Comparing sectors in Europe. Overview report. Dublin, 60 S.
Abstract
"This report and the accompanying 33 sectoral information sheets aim to capture the diversity prevalent across sectors in Europe in terms of working conditions and job quality. The report provides a comparative overview of sectors and gives background information that enables the results presented in the individual information sheets to be interpreted. The information sheets indicate how each sector compares to the European average for all sectors, as well as highlighting differences and similarities among different groups of workers. The sectoral analysis builds on the overview report and secondary analyses of the fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). The research highlights trends across sectors in terms of working time and work - life balance, work organisation, skills and training, employee representation and the psychosocial and physical environment. It identifies sectors that score particularly well or particularly poorly regarding four indicators of job quality. Finally, some light is shed on differences between sectors in terms of the health and well-being of workers and the perceived sustainability of work." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Occupational segregation and gender differences in sickness absence: evidence from 17 European countries (2014)
Zitatform
Mastekaasa, Arne & Anne May Melsom (2014): Occupational segregation and gender differences in sickness absence. Evidence from 17 European countries. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 30, H. 5, S. 582-594. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcu059
Abstract
"Previous research indicates that women fare less well than men on a wide range of healthrelated measures, including sickness absence from work. Possible explanations are that women have -- on average -- less healthy jobs than men, or that they are more vulnerable to job-related stressors. We address these issues using comparative data on 17 European countries from the EU Labour Force Surveys. Employing logistic regression, we find that gender differences in sickness absence tend to increase if we control for up to 147 detailed occupational categories, thus indicating that women are, if anything, in more healthy jobs than men in most countries. We also examine to what extent the gender differences in sickness absence are systematically related to the gender mix of the occupation, e.g. whether women have particularly high sickness absence in occupations that are strongly male dominated. There is a tendency towards smaller gender differences in female-dominated occupations in a few countries, but in most cases the gender difference is of similar magnitude in female-dominated, male-dominated, and gender-balanced occupations."

Abstract
"In allen OECD-Ländern werden psychische Krankheiten zunehmend als Problem für die Sozial- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik erkannt. Ein Problem, das bedeutende Kosten verursacht, die von der Bevölkerung, den Arbeitgebern und der Wirtschaft als Ganzes getragen werden, indem die Beschäftigung sinkt, die Arbeitslosigkeit ansteigt und erhebliche Produktivitätseinbußen damit verbunden sind. In der Schweiz wird ein gemischter Ansatz verfolgt. Die verschiedenen Systeme, nämlich Gesundheit, Bildung und Sozialversicherung, sind gut ausgestattet und bieten grundsätzlich optimale Möglichkeiten für adäquates Handeln. Doch ist politische Entscheidungsfindung in der Schweiz aufgrund der ungewöhnlich großen Anzahl an Akteuren eine komplexe Angelegenheit, bestimmen doch die weitgehend selbständigen 26 Kantone und ein großer einflussreicher Privatsektor mit. Die Koordination einer zu verfolgenden Politik gestaltet sich also schwierig. Ein Beispiel dafür liefert der langwierige und windungsreiche Entstehungs- und Zusammenarbeitsprozess der 'Interinstitutionellen Zusammenarbeit'. Doch trotz des proaktiven Engagements der Invalidenversicherung und des beachtlichen Erfolgs der jüngsten Reformen der Invalidenversicherung sind nicht alle Probleme gelöst, wie die zahlreichen und immer noch nicht zurückgehenden Neuberentungen von Personen mit psychischen Störungen zeigen. Es bedarf weiterer Veränderungen, um eine erhebliche Verbesserung der Situation zu erreichen, und allgemein eine stärkere Fokussierung auf die psychische Gesundheit in der aktuellen Gesundheits-, Sozial- und Arbeitspolitik."

Abstract
"Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is becoming a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on Switzerland is the fifth in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It concludes that the Swiss system is well resourced to address the challenges in various policy fields; that due the involvement of a large number of stakeholders much needed policy coordination across different sectors is a difficult task; and that a stronger mental health focus is required in Switzerland's health, social and labour market policies.

An international comparison of 23 countries. In: PLoS one, Jg. 9, H. 5, S. 1-6. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0086845
Abstract
"Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether more sickness absence is reported in countries with higher income inequality than elsewhere, and whether the level of income inequality moderates the association between psychosocial job demands and sickness absence.
Methods: Our analysis is based on the Fifth European Working Conditions Survey that compared 23 European countries. We performed multi-level regression analysis. On the macro-level of analysis we included the Gini-Index as measure of inequality. On the micro-level of analysis we followed the Karasek-Theorell model and included three scales for psychological job demands, physical job demands, and decision latitude in the model. The model was stratified by sex.
Results: We found that, in countries with high income inequality, workers report significantly more sickness absence than workers in countries with low income inequality. In addition we found that the level of income inequality moderates the relationship between psychological job demands and sickness absence. High psychological job demands are significantly more strongly related to more days of sickness absence in countries with low income inequality than in countries with high income inequality.
Conclusions: As the nature and causal pathways of cross-level interaction effects still cannot be fully explained, we argue that future research should aim to explore such causal pathways. In accordance with WHO recommendations we argue that inequalities should be reduced. In addition we state that, particularly in countries with low levels of income inequality, policies should aim to reduce psychological job demands." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

Abstract
"Job quality indexes are constructed on the basis of such aspects of working conditions as earnings, prospects, working time, and intrinsic job quality. Occupations where job quality is consistently low are labelled 'occupations with multiple disadvantages'. This report uses data from the fifth European Working Conditions Survey to identify such occupations. It finds that workers in mid-skilled manual and low-skilled occupations do quite poorly when it comes to earnings, prospects and intrinsic job quality, and they report relatively low levels of both physical and mental well-being. However, their working time quality is generally good. In contrast, workers in high-skilled occupations do relatively well on almost all job quality indicators, except working time."

Abdallah, Saamah, Laura Stoll & Franz Eiffe (2013): Third European quality of life survey. Quality of life in Europe: Subjective well-being. Dublin, 124 S. DOI:10.2806/37878
Abstract
"This report assesses the impact of the crisis on the subjective well-being of Europeans. In 2011, GDP per capita in 22 out of the then 27 EU Member States was below 2008 levels, and unemployment rates were higher in 25 out of the 27. These indicators demonstrate worrying trends, but the report goes deeper, trying to answer various questions: What is the real impact on people's lives? Who has been hit hardest? Where have there been positive wellbeing patterns? What explains the variation in well-being across Europe? How can policy increase or stem the fall in well-being in the future? It concludes that the crisis may not be affecting everyone's well-being equally, nor all aspects of well-being. Well-being has fallen in many EU countries, remaining highest in northern countries. However, falls in wellbeing in many western EU countries have been matched by increases in eastern countries. Population groups with low well-being include those limited by disability or illness and unemployed people." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Gender differences in preferences for health-related absences from work (2013)

Avdic, Daniel & Per Johansson (2013): Gender differences in preferences for health-related absences from work. (Working papers / Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy 2013,13), Uppsala, 59 S.
Abstract
"Women are on average more absent from work for health reasons than men. At the same time, they live longer. This conflicting pattern suggests that part of the gender difference in health-related absenteeism arises from differences between the genders unrelated to actual health. An overlooked explanation could be that men and women's preferences for absenteeism differ, for example because of gender differences in risk preferences. These differences may originate from the utility-maximizing of households in which women's traditional dual roles influence household decisions to invest primarily in women's health. Using detailed administrative data on sick leave, hospital visits and objective health measures we first investigate the existence of gender-specific preferences for absenteeism and subsequently test for the household investment hypothesis. We find evidence for the existence of gender differences in preferences for absence from work, and that a non-trivial part of these preference differences can be attributed to household investments in women's health."

Abstract
"This study aims to: (1) examine the stable and changing components across time of job resources, job demands, work engagement, and burnout, and (2) investigate the relationships - as specified by the Job Demands-Resources model - between job characteristics (demands and resources) and employee well-being (burnout and engagement) when controlled for their stable components. These two issues were addressed using longitudinal data from 3 waves with a 1-year time interval (N = 1038). Results from structural equation modeling indicate that the stable component accounts for 48 - 69% (waves 1 to 3) of the total variance in job resources, whereas for job demands these percentages range from 30 to 35% (waves 1 to 3). Moreover, it appears that 54 - 66% (waves 1 to 3) of the variance in work engagement and 40 - 45% (waves 1 to 3) of the variance in burnout are accounted for by a stable component. Hence, compared to the negative aspects of the working environment (i.e., job demands and burnout), positive aspects (i.e., job resources and work engagement) seem to be more stable. We also detected significant relationships between the changing components of job resources and job demands on the one hand and work engagement and burnout on the other. These findings are consistent with the Job Demands-Resources model." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper explores the link between employee perceptions of working conditions and the desire for worker representation in Britain and the US. We find that the distribution of employee perceptions of poor working conditions is similar in Britain and the US; similar factors affect the number of perceived poor working conditions; and the perception of poor working conditions is strongly associated with the desire for union representation. The nature of workplaces, as opposed to employees' characteristics, is the predominant factor determining employee perceptions of poor working conditions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
