Abstract

The article focuses on a long-term study that began in 1967 in the United Kingdom, which revealed a surprising discovery about the health outcomes of British civil servants based on their rank within the hierarchy. Lower-ranked employees, such as office support staff, experienced higher rates of mortality and coronary heart disease, potentially linked to their lack of influence over decision-making and resulting stress levels at work.
