Ergonomic and Psychosocial Aspects of Occupational Health
This session will present emerging and new data about the effects of occupational monitoring on medication use. This session will also discuss the correlation between burnout among urban transit operators and substance abuse. Finally, this session will discuss job insecurity and workers' compensation filing.
Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize the levels of supervisory and electronic monitoring in communications workers. 2. Describe the importance of examining the occupational and substance use correlates of burnout among a blue-collar cohort. 3. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of job insecurity (as measured by job status (regular/odds job) and unemployment experience) on workers’ comp filing behavior among injured workers. The goal was to construct job insecurity as a function of the condition of employment among workers and organizations. In addition, the objective was to investigate the relationship between workers’ comp filing and income.
