Abstract

The article presents a study on the effects of job strain on survey response among workers in the healthcare industry. The study examines 1,613 healthcare workers using questionnaires wherein job strain was defined by the ratio of job demands to job control. Binomial pseudo Poisson regressions and multi-level logistic models were used to find the correlations between factors including survey response, job strain, socioeconomic status, and demographic variables. The study found that survey response was affected by less job strain and high socioeconomic status .
