Abstract
The changing world of work has increased the prevalence of psychosocial risks at European workplaces. Psychosocial risks may have severe consequences for workers’ health and well-being. Research has shown that they are related to poorer mental health, depression, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, appropriate management of these risks is necessary. Earlier research has identified several drivers and barriers for psychosocial risk management in the workplace. It has also been shown that organisational characteristics such as size and sector as well as the national context in which organisations operate are related to the level psychosocial risks management. This article explores further the relation between psychosocial risk management in companies and their national context, focusing on the role of national culture.
