Job dissatisfaction as a predictor of poor health among middle-aged workers: a 14-wave mixed model analysis in Japan

摘要

Our hazards model analysis showed that job dissatisfaction predicted earlier onsets of psychological distress, poor self-rated health, and health-related retirement among middle-aged workers, both male and female, after controlling for baseline covariates. The results suggest that job dissatisfaction sends a reliable signal for occupational health to enhance workers’ health.
