- Abstract
Social support and decision authority in relation to health has been examined in extensive research. However, research on the role of different constellations of support sources is conspicuously lacking. The aim of the present study is to describe the health of employees in eight contrasting situations that differ with regard to support from superiors and from workmates and with regard to decision authority. Men and women were studied separately. STUDY SAMPLE AND METHODS: A large sample of Swedish employees (n = 53,371, after exclusion of supervisors) who participated in a national work environment survey was utilized. In addition prospective long-term sick leave data (60 days or more during the 12 months after questionnaire completion) were collected from the national insurance register.
