Contradictory individualized self-blaming: a cross-sectional study of associations between expectations to managers coworkers one-self and risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers

摘要

BackgroundWithin work sociology, several studies have addressed construction workers’ practices of masculinity, class, economy, safety risks and production. However, few studies have investigated room for agency in relation to bodily pain or musculoskeletal disorders and even fewer have made a quantitative approach. Accordingly, by means of a questionnaire, we examined the association between construction workers’ room for agency and physical exertion, bodily and mental fatigue, and lower back pain.
