Description
Summary:The studies exploring the mechanisms by which organisational changes may impact health outcomes are lacking. The objectives of the study were to examine the prospective associations of organisational changes with the deterioration of psychosocial work factors. The study was based on the prospective data of the national French working conditions survey collected in 2013, 2016, and 2019. The study sample included 5200 employees working in the private sector. A large set of organisational changes and psychosocial work factors were collected from employers and employees respectively. Multilevel mixed-effects robust Poisson regression models were used. Organisational changes were prospectively associated with the deterioration of psychosocial work factors related to job insecurity, role stressors, and job demands. The strongest prospective association was found between downsizing and the increase in job insecurity. The associations between organisational changes and health outcomes may be mediated by psychosocial work factors.
