Abstract

One of the principles of good job design is to make jobs that are conducive to personal development and to health. One of the ways in which jobs can facilitate personal development is to provide learning opportunities. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis that learning opportunities at work are positively related to health. The jobs of 185 men and women were evaluated and assessed for the learning opportunities provided by these jobs. Health was measured (a) as allostasis, operationalized as the body's ability to recover after load, and (b) as self-reports about mental health and life satisfaction. Objective indicators of allostasis were reduction of nocturnal heart rate and reduction of blood pressure after load. Subjective indicators were the ability to recover and absence of sleep disturbances. Linear and logistic regression analyses showed that learning opportunities were significantly related to a healthy cardiovascular behaviour with a strong reduction of nocturnal heart rate and blood pressure after a working day (allostasis). However, learning opportunities were only related to the objectively measured health variables, but not to self-reported data of health. The study findings suggest that designing jobs which provide learning opportunities is very important for workers' health. Thus job design can improve both personal development and health.

  • Learning opportunities at work (e.g., decision authority, responsibility, feedback) were positively associated with nocturnal recovery of heart rate and blood pressure.

    “The facilitating role of job resources is well illustrated by Rau (2006), who indicated that learning opportunities at work (e.g., decision authority, responsibility, feedback) were positively associated with nocturnal recovery of heart rate and blood pressure.”

  • Job demands were related to impaired ability to relax at home.

    “Further evidence concerning the relationships comes from the study by Sonnentag and Bayer (2005), which showed that high demands on a specific day increased the risk of not being able to detach from work, and from the study by Rau (2006), which also indicated that job demands were related to impaired ability to relax at home.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
