Objectives:
This study aimed to examine the relationship between workplace social capital (WSC), and occupational injuries and illnesses.
Methods:
A prospective cohort study was conducted using a questionnaire-based survey in Japan. Overall WSC and its subtypes were divided into three categories (lower, intermediate, and higher). We estimated the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using logistic regression to investigate the association between WSC and occupational injuries and illnesses.
Results:
The ORs for occupational injuries and illnesses were significantly lower for the intermediate group (overall: OR = 0.83, CI: 0.72-0.96; bonding: OR = 0.94, CI: 0.80-1.09; bridging: OR = 0.81, CI: 0.70-0.94; linking: OR = 0.74 CI: 0.64-0.86) and the higher group (overall: OR = 0.63, CI: 0.54-0.74; bonding: OR = 0.68 CI: 0.59-0.79; bridging: OR = 0.73 CI: 0.63-0.86; linking: OR = 0.55 CI: 0.47-0.65) compared to the lower group.
Conclusions:
Bonding, bridging, and linking WSC may help prevent occupational injuries and illnesses.
