Author Description

"The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) commissioned RAND Europe to conduct an empirical analysis of the data collected in the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER) managed by EU-OSHA on the factors associated with the effective management of psychosocial risks in the workplace. There were five main research goals guiding the work presented in this report: to identify sets of practices from ESENER data that are associated with effective management of psychosocial risks; to define a typology for establishments according to their characteristics (size, age, sector or industry); to draw on knowledge to explain the context features that have greatest influence on establishments' commitment to effective management of psychosocial risks; to understand the similarities or differences between the employers' and employee representatives' perspectives; and to discuss the policy implications arising from the empirical analysis."--Editor.
