目的：本研究的目的是分析社会经济地位(SES)与一些心理社会工作环境因素之间的关系，这些因素可能对健康不平等产生影响。方法：对1,684名丹麦成年员工进行代表性抽样，填写标准化问卷或通过电话进行访谈。有效率为62%。种群被划分为四个SES水平(I至IV)。采用19个量表对心理社会工作环境进行描述。结果：在高SES个体中，量化、认知和情感工作需求以及与积极和发展性工作相关的一些维度显示出较高的水平。在SES低的女性中，工作不安全感最高。描述人际关系、社会支持和领导力的维度与SES没有明显的关联。结论：旨在改善健康和减少健康不平等的预防应侧重于积极工作和发展工作的各个方面：工作中的影响、发展的可能性、自由度和工作的意义。此外，应该减少工作的不安全感。
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and a number of psychosocial work environment factors with a potential impact on inequality in health. Methods: A representative sample of 1, 684 adult Danish employees filled in a standardized questionnaire or were interviewed by telephone. The response rate was 62%. The population was divided into four levels of SES (I to IV). The psychosocial work environment was described with 19 scales. Results: Quantitative, cognitive, and emotional job demands and a number of dimensions related to active and developmental work showed higher levels among high SES individuals. Job insecurity was highest among women with low SES. Dimensions describing interpersonal relations, social support, and leadership showed no clear associations with SES. Conclusions: Prevention aiming at improving health and reducing inequality in health should focus on the dimensions of active and developmental work: influence at work, possibilities for development, degrees of freedom, and meaning of work. Furthermore, job insecurity should be reduced.
