Time constraints and autonomy at work in the European Union
book
Time constraints and job autonomy are seen as two major dimensions of work content. These two dimensions play a major role in controlling psychosocial stress at work. The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (EFILWC) has asked NIA TNO to prepare a report on time constraints and autonomy in Europe using the different surveys in Europe. The aim of the report is threefold: (1) to consolidate input from the various European and national questionnaires on the issue of time constraints and autonomy at work; (2) to provide a description of the situation based on the 1991 and 1996 European Surveys on Working Conditions carried out by the Foundation; (3) to five an overview of the situation in Europe on time constraints and autonomy at work. The research questions for this study are: To which degree can the different questions on time constraints and job autonomy be compared? What is the vality of the 'job demands-job control' model based on the dimensions of time constraints and job autonomy in the different surveys? How do time constraints and job autonomy develop themselves (trends) in the European Union and the different member states?
