Working Too Hard to Advise You Not to Work Too Hard: Psychosocial Risk Factors and Quality of Life Among Occupational Health and Safety Experts

Öz

Consistent findings exist regarding the work-related issues and negative psychological outcomes that occupational health and safety (OHS) experts experience. These findings may be interpreted as OHS experts being prone to certain psychosocial risks at work. This study aims to explore the demographic and work-related determinants of psychosocial risks faced by OHS experts and their quality of life. Data were collected from 101 experts working in the field of occupational health and safety. The sample was composed of 65 male and 36 female experts aged between 21 and 65. The survey battery was composed of 3three groups of measurements: demographic questions, quality of life items, and NHUMAN PSR-Q items. According to the findings, experts in the least experienced group reported higher psychosocial risks about equipment and work environment. B-class experts were found to have tighter work schedules. Those experts who worked in joint health and safety units were at a disadvantaged position concerning psychosocial risks associated with heavy work schedules and quality of life. All 17 domains of psychosocial risks were found to be negatively associated with quality of life. Interpersonal relations subscale was the single most powerful predictor of quality of life. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive approach to psychosocial risks experienced by OHS experts.
