Implication

Cohort study reveals mixed linear and curvilinear links between job characteristics and employee well-being in 1,739 workers, suggesting the demand-control-support model fails for objective absence.

Key Points

To assess the demand-control-support model by refining job control metrics, evaluating interactive and nonlinear relations, and testing predictions against objective sickness absence.
Analyzed baseline data from 1,739 employees enrolled in the 3-year prospective SMASH (Study on Musculoskeletal Disorders, Absenteeism, Stress, and Health) cohort study.
Tested linear additive, interactive, and curvilinear models linking job demands, control, and support to subjective well-being and company-administered sickness absence records.
A linear additive model demonstrated superior fit for job satisfaction, psychosomatic health complaints, and sickness absence.
A curvilinear model provided superior performance when modeling emotional outcomes.
The demand-control-support model was not supported when predicting objective company-administered sickness absence.
