| description | "This book analyses the consequences of restructuring on health and safety and quality of work life with a specific focus on psychosocial risks. Drawing on the case study research of the WORKS project, it outlines some cross national trends in the EU, focusing on the known causes of stress: demands in work; influence over work; social support; recognition and reward; predictability and meaning.
In general, the case-studies tell a story of a worsening psychosocial work environment as a result of restructuring. However, new opportunities may be deteceted as well: increased meaning and recognition; upskilling; more social support thanks to team-work. The report concludes with some recommendations: more explicit coverage of change and restructuring in both national and EU health and safety legislation; improved change management with a focus on reducing workload; worker participation in restructuring process; and a strong attention to the consequences of flexibility for health and safety." |
