– i.e. work formalisation and constraints on pace of work are linked to repetitive tasks, while job autonomy is usually linked to learning new things as a consequence of autonomous problem-solving
(associations between variables are uncovered by calculating the chi- square distance between different categories of the variables and between the individuals).
(we use Ward’s hierarchical clustering method and create four dummies with 1 if the worker has been classified within one cluster of work

– Larger effects of WO on male and younger individuals – Elders have higher % of health problems but the lowest effects of WO
– Larger effects of WO on physical health in manufacturing sector; no differences with service sector in terms of mental health – Employees in larger enterprise (+50 employees) have higher probabilities of physical and mental problems and WOs matter more wtr to those employed in smaller firm
– More detrimental working conditions (working for more than 10 hours per day, at high speed and to tight deadlines) lead to more health problems and to larger differences between WO – Pay for performance mechanism augments the probability of health problems but differences across WO are lower (and insignificant in terms of mental health)
Figure 2: Kernel density by work organisation practices … moving from ‘Lean production’ to ‘Discretionary learning’
Lean production Discretionary learning Lean production Discretionary learning
When the technological progress increases workload demands with a larger use of HIM practices, which work organization regime could help to minimize health problems?
18% of employees in 2000-2005 EWCS => low-skilled jobs with elementary tasks)
‘autonomy’, typical of Discretionary learning work organization, lead to a lower probability
reporting health problems (w.r.t. Lean Production and Taylorism).
repetitive and monotonous jobs, are associated with worse health
the true effect.
characterised by more demanding tasks should encompass higher autonomy and discretion in work tasks (such as in ‘Discretionary learning’).
