| Abstract |
The utility of the job demand-control-support (JDCS) model for explaining psychological and physical well-being has been documented in a variety of settings. The current study's purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the JDCS model for predicting occupational injuries based on data for blue-collar workers from two regions of the United States. Risk factors were evaluated using hierarchical linear modeling. Significant interactions were found between situational constraints and safety control to predict workplace injuries. However, there were no significant three-way interactions between situational constraints, safety control and safety climate on workplace injuries. The implications of these findings are discussed. |
