The relation of objective work conditions (work underload, repetitive or varied work) and subjective monotony to job satisfaction, psychological distress, and sickness absence was examined in 1,278 male and female workers. Subjective monotony was moderately related to the objective work conditions. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that the effects on all outcomes were partially mediated by subjective monotony and were also directly related to repetitive work and work underload. Job satisfaction and psychological distress were mainly related to subjective monotony, whereas sickness absence was equally related to the work conditions and subjective monotony. The highest impact was observed for short-cycle repetitive work. Testing sex interactions revealed that sickness absence was related to the work conditions in women but not in men. The findings highlight the significance of noting the actual work conditions in predicting employee outcomes.
在1278名男性和女性工人中，研究了客观工作条件（工作负荷不足、重复性或多样化工作）和主观单调感与工作满意度、心理困扰及病假缺勤之间的关系。主观单调感与客观工作条件存在中等程度的关联。分层回归分析表明，对所有结果的影响部分由主观单调感介导，并且还与重复性工作和工作负荷不足直接相关。工作满意度和心理困扰主要与主观单调感有关，而病假缺勤则与工作条件和主观单调感同样相关。短周期重复性工作的影响最为显著。性别交互作用测试表明，病假缺勤与女性的工作条件有关，而与男性无关。研究结果凸显了在预测员工工作成果时关注实际工作条件的重要性。
