Abstract

Objectives: The study objective was to measure the association between exposure to technological advances and work engagement, adjusting for personal and workplace factors.

Methods: We conducted a nationwide online longitudinal survey study in Japan. The sample was stratified to represent Japanese workforce conditions. Work engagement was measured using the Japanese version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9. Exposure to technological advances was measured using a single question with Likert scale responses. Industry characteristics that were more/less likely to be replaced by automation were also measured. Linear regression was used for statistical analysis.

Results: There were 16 629 participants. We found that exposure to technological advances was associated with work engagement after adjustment for age, sex, education, income, and industry characteristics. We observed a significant interaction between age and exposure to technological advances (coefficient 0.891, P < .001), and conducted an age-stratified linear regression analysis. The significant association between age and exposure to technological advances reduced as age increased, and disappeared after adjustment for baseline work engagement.

Conclusions: Longitudinal observations showed that exposure to technological advances was not significantly associated with work engagement.

工作场所技术进步与工作投入的关系：一项前瞻性队列研究。

研究目的我们的研究测量了接触技术进步与工作投入的关系，并对个人和工作场所因素进行了调整：方法：我们在日本开展了一项全国范围的在线纵向调查研究。根据日本劳动力的实际情况对样本进行了分层。工作投入度采用日语版乌得勒支工作投入度量表-9 进行测量。对技术进步的接触程度采用李克特量表回答的单个问题进行测量。对可能被自动化取代的行业进行了分类。统计分析采用线性回归法：共有 16629 名参与者。我们发现，在对年龄、性别、教育程度、收入、行业特征以及年龄与技术进步暴露之间的交互变量进行调整后，技术进步暴露与工作投入相关（系数为 0.891，p 结论：技术进步暴露与工作投入不相关：在纵向观察中，技术进步与工作投入并无明显关联。

期刊介绍： The scope of the journal is broad, covering toxicology, ergonomics, psychosocial factors and other relevant health issues of workers, with special emphasis on the current developments in occupational health. The JOH also accepts various methodologies that are relevant to investigation of occupational health risk factors and exposures, such as large-scale epidemiological studies, human studies employing biological techniques and fundamental experiments on animals, and also welcomes submissions concerning occupational health practices and related issues.
