Dissatisfaction in the first jobs affects long-term health
Having good experiences during the first years of work can have a link with health, according to a new study by the Ohio State University. According to the researchers, people who are dissatisfied at the beginning of their careers tend to be more depressed, worried and suffer with problems sleeping. P>
The study further reveals that people whose job satisfaction started low but improved throughout their careers , had no health problems associated with work. "We found that there is a cumulative effect of job satisfaction related to health problems that appears as early as age 40," said Jonathan Dirlam, lead author of the study.
The research results show the importance that the early years of work have in people's lives. "You do not have to be near the end of your career to see the impact that work has on your health, in particular about your mental health," said study co-author Zheng.
They analyzed data from 6,432 Americans , between 14 and 22 years old, which are part of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth that has been taking place since 1979. However, for this study the researchers examined the trajectory in the work of people aged 25 to 39 years. Participants should rate how much they liked their work from 1 (I strongly disliked) to 4 (I liked it a lot).
Volunteers were divided into four groups: people who are dissatisfied at work, people who are very satisfied with their jobs, people whose satisfaction began high, but fell over the years and those who started discontented, but were satisfied after a while.
About 45% of the participants had low job satisfaction, a significant difference of people who was totally happy in the work environment, who represent only 15%. People who were dissatisfied with work over the years are about 23%, and 17% of them have come to like work over time.
Participants who were happy at work were used as a reference so researchers could compare their health with that of the other three groups. People who were in the low job satisfaction group had the worst average mental health rate, with high levels of depression, sleep problems, and excessive worry.
In addition to psychological problems, people who are unhappy with the environment Another concern for the researchers was that the outcome of participants whose satisfaction with work started higher but decreased through their onset of labor. career. These participants were also likely to have more trouble sleeping and excessive worry than those with high job satisfaction.
Researcher Zheng says that it is important to remember that participants were studied when they were 40 years old. "The higher levels of mental health problems for those with low job satisfaction may be a precursor to future physical problems. Increased anxiety and depression could lead to cardiovascular or other health problems that do not appear until they are over old, "the researcher concluded.
