In Québec, as in many other Western countries, mental health problems represent one of the principal causes of morbidity in the population and extended leaves of absence from the workplace. A portion of mental health problems at work seem to result from the combined effect of a highly demanding psychological factors and a little decision-making latitude in the workplace. A longitudinal study conducted over a one-year period among white-collar workers in the Québec City region has revealed that no significant link was demonstrated between leaves of absence resulting from mental health problems and stress in the workplace. However, the authors have identified certain white-collar sub-groups that have a greater risk of accumulating leaves of absence as a result of a combination of greater psychological demands and little latitude in terms of decision-making.
在魁北克，和许多其他西方国家一样，心理健康问题是导致人群发病以及长时间缺勤的主要原因之一。工作场所中的一部分心理健康问题似乎是由高要求的心理因素和工作场所中决策自由度较低的综合影响造成的。在魁北克市地区对白领进行的一项为期一年的纵向研究表明，心理健康问题导致的缺勤与工作场所压力之间没有显著关联。然而，作者已经确定了某些白领子群体，由于心理需求较高且决策自由度较低，他们累积缺勤的风险更大。
