Abstract:

The objective was to analyze the association between Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) at work and life satisfaction among Brazilian public servants. Method: Cross-sectional study with 9,199 active participants in the second stage (2012-2014) of ELSA-Brazil. Analyzes stratified by sex were carried out using logistic regression, considering a 5% significance level. Results: Women and men who reported effort-reward imbalance at work had greater dissatisfaction with life (OR=2.38; 95%CI: 1.93-2.93 and OR=2.01; 95%CI: 1.68- 2.39, respectively) than those without ERI. Women at a higher/teaching level presented a higher estimate of association between ERI and dissatisfaction with life (OR= 2.77; 95%CI: 1.90-4.04), when compared to women at a support/medium functional level (OR 1.71; 95%CI: 1.38- 2.12). Conclusion: Occupational stressors, measured by the ERI, were associated with dissatisfaction with life in public servants of both sexes. Functional level was an effect modifier for the association between ERI and life satisfaction among women, which may be related to the effort to reduce gender inequalities at work through the need for greater education and qualifications to enter and remain in the job market.
