Area of Science:

  • Occupational health and safety
  • Public health
  • Socioeconomics

Context:

  • The Polish labor market and enterprise restructuring significantly impact worker health indicators.
  • Temporary work disability and disability pensions are key health metrics affected by these changes.
  • The study focuses on a large transport enterprise undergoing significant ownership and structural transformations.

Purpose:

  • To analyze changes in the extent and causes of sickness absence among workers following enterprise restructuring.
  • To compare sickness absence rates and patterns before and after major organizational changes.
  • To identify specific disease categories contributing to shifts in work disability.

Summary:

  • Sickness absence decreased by 33% in women and 25% in men post-restructuring.
  • Significant increases in absence due to mental disorders (men), musculoskeletal diseases (both sexes), and endocrine/metabolic diseases (women) were observed.
  • Absence due to respiratory, circulatory diseases, and pregnancy complications decreased.

Impact:

  • Restructuring led to a rejuvenated workforce and organizational modifications, increasing stress and unemployment risk.
  • Observed changes in sickness absence patterns reflect employment shifts and organizational stress.
  • Findings highlight the need to address mental and musculoskeletal health in restructured work environments.
