Many employees perceive that they put too much effort into work tasks they consider as unnecessary or unreasonable.

Prolonging working lives is an important means to promote healthy aging and the sustainable development, thus is a high priority on the agenda of policy makers. Understanding workplace factors in shaping a longer working life appears as a frontier issue.

Employed gig workers engage in a wide range of occupations, either full-time or part-time, often continuing beyond retirement age and frequently working for multiple clients. Although this form of work is expanding both in Sweden and internationally (e.g., in Norway and France), there is limited knowledge about how different groups of workers use this employment arrangement.

The purpose of the project is to investigate working conditions, living habits and self-rated mental and general health before and after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and if there have been changes in these areas, in a nationwide sample of gainfully employed individuals in Sweden.

As populations age, it becomes increasingly important to extend working life and support the health and career opportunities of older employees. In this project, we translate, adapt, and validate the scientifically evaluated Later Life Workplace Index (LLWI) for the Swedish context.

Employment contracts, job insecurity, unionization, working conditions, work-related attitudes and health among women and men in a flexible labor market.

The Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) is a unique prospective study on work environment and health. It is expected to provide a basis for improvements of work environment and to contribute to a better understanding regarding work-related ill-health in Sweden and other countries.

In March 2020, everyday life changed dramatically for many Swedish workers as a result of the Public Health Agency’s recommendations on telework (work from home using ICT) to reduce the spread of COVID-19; within some weeks telework increased by 400%. Many of those who began teleworking did so without or with only limited experience of telework.

The project aims to generate both broad knowledge about patterns within the retail sector and a deeper understanding of how preventive work environment management can be strengthened.

Organizational justice perceptions refer to subjective evaluations of the fairness of organizational authorities in terms of resource allocations, organizational procedures, and interpersonal treatment of employees.
