Funded Activity Summary

Work Design Matters: The Dynamic Interplay of Work, Person and Context. Work design is critical for social and economic outcomes, as exemplified by the International Labour Office's 'Decent Work agenda'. This project first proposes new, long-term dynamic processes by which personality and demographics, and their interactions, shape or constrain individuals' opportunities for high quality work. Second, it considers how family, education, and workplace factors mitigate the pathways between these individual variables and work design. Finally, taking account of contemporary challenges in today's organisations, it examines how work design affects the person, including their health, performance, behaviour, and cognition. The project aims to address these questions using a unique longitudinal cohort study, the Raine Study.
