Objectives:
To test the hypothesis of a beneficial role of worker participation in the decision-making process as a buffer against demanding work organization on mental and physical health and commitment.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study ( N = 1134) was conducted among workers employed in the health and homecare sector. Multiple regressions and moderation analyses were performed to test whether worker participation in decision-making moderates the association between demanding work organization and health and whether it directly predicts work commitment.
Results:
As hypothesized, results show that demanding work organization is negatively associated with the mental and physical health of workers and that participation in the decision-making moderates this negative association. Finally, participation in decision-making is directly related to work commitment.
Conclusions:
Results are discussed in light of the recent evolution of work conditions in the health and homecare sector.
