The results exhibit that of 119 cases, 56 cases (47.1%) involved male employees while 63 cases (52.9%) involved female employees. From fiscal years 2010 to 2019, there were 43 cases of psychological stress related to work among males and 55 among females. The issue of \"interpersonal relationship\" was significantly higher in the education and learning-support services than in other industrial workers. Within the category of \"interpersonal relationship\" the specific issue of being \"(severely) harassed, bullied, or assaulted\" was especially prevalent (10 cases for males and 15 cases for females). Moreover, male employees reported many instances of suicide attempts, and their first attempt tended to lead to a completed suicide. Therefore, it is important to promote measures against harassment, bullying, and suicide in education and learning-support services.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"514-523"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12464670/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143585596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use four waves of the Japan Study of Aging and Retirement (JSTAR) to address the relationship between weekday sleep duration, self-reported sleep quality and four self-reported indicators of sleep quality and employment status (model 1, full sample), working hours and job satisfaction (model 2, working sample) among individuals aged 50 and over (N=7,082). We apply mixed effects models for the linear outcome of sleep duration and cumulative link mixed models for the sleep quality variables, controlling for socio-demographic and health characteristics. In model 1, our findings show that, compared to full-time employees, all categories of workers and non-workers report longer sleep hours. Some sub-groups, such as contract workers, report higher odds of waking up at night or in the early morning, and taking a longer time to fall asleep. In model 2, we find a positive association between working time and sleep hours but including job satisfaction in the model absorbs such a relationship, indicating the job satisfaction somehow reflects working time. Poor job satisfaction is linked to higher odds of experiencing difficulties in four of the five sleep quality measures.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"465-477"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12476939/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143639563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no significant association was found for lower-income groups. When stratified by income satisfaction, longer working hours were significantly associated with poor SRH only in income-satisfied individuals among higher-income group.

Yet, the reasons why some employees in certain cultures persist in exploitative work environments remain unclear. This study investigates psychosocial factors that prevent exploited employees from leaving their organisations, with a specific emphasis on the role of collectivism. We hypothesise that perceptions of an overwork climate and elevated levels of workaholism contribute to employees' feelings of exploitation, subsequently increasing turnover intentions. Additionally, we predict that collectivism exacerbates the effect of overwork climate on workaholism and weakens employees' intentions to leave their exploitative work environment. Data from 147 Japanese employees were collected via online surveys using snowball sampling. Factor score path analysis and mediation tests (5,000 bootstrap samples) were employed to test our hypotheses. Results suggested that feelings of exploitation are positively linked to turnover intentions, which are driven by the perception of an overwork climate and employees' compulsive orientation towards work. Importantly, collectivism weakened the link between perceived exploitation and turnover intentions. This study provides an account of the complex interplay between organisational climate, culture, and the impact of feeling exploited on employees' intentions to quit, highlighting the potential adverse effects of collectivism on employees.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"451-464"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12464674/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143566994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data analysis involved t-tests, ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc tests, and chi-square tests to evaluate differences in safety culture components and participant characteristics. The findings revealed significant variations in safety attitudes and practices across the three sectors. Industrial laboratories exhibited stronger safety practices, including higher compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols, while academic and government sectors faced challenges due to limited resources and inconsistent safety practices. The study highlighted the need for sector-specific safety training, effective risk communication, and enhanced adherence to safety protocols, particularly in academic and government settings. Additionally, the importance of leadership in fostering a strong safety culture was emphasized, with active involvement from principal investigators and supervisors contributing to better safety outcomes.

Previous studies indicated that platform-based delivery work can be demanding, subject to algorithmic control, and lacking employment protections. While migrant workers are more likely to be exposed to adverse psychosocial working conditions and more vulnerable due to limited social services, few studies have examined the role of migrant status in mental health and its associations with psychosocial working conditions among platform delivery workers. This study employed a cross-sectional online survey to compare the mental health status of platform delivery workers in China and the associations with psychosocial working conditions by migrant status. Of the 923 delivery workers surveyed, 492 (53.3%) were rural-to-urban migrants. The findings indicated that rural-to-urban migrant delivery workers experienced high levels of mental disorders and burnout. Regression analyses revealed that workplace violence and high job demands were significantly associated with mental disorders and high burnout, and these associations were more pronounced among rural-to-urban migrant workers. Greater attention should be paid to this growing urban workforce, and context-specific interventions are essential to protect their mental health and wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":13531,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145033198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
