Digital tools for worker management and psychosocial risks in the workplace: evidence from the ESENER survey
JRC Working Papers Series on Labour, education and Technology 2021/12
This article explores the association between digital technologies that enable new forms of man-agement and the presence of psychosocial risks in the workplace, drawing on a representative sur-vey of Europe establishments (ESENER 2019). It also ascertains whether OSH preventive measures and policies may play a mitigating role in managing risks and reducing the potentially negative im-pact of technology. In line with the literature and with prior expectations, our analysis reveals that digital technologies enabling the new forms of management are associated to increased psychoso-cial risks, which in turn can result in work-related stress and other mental health issues. It also con-firmed that OSH measures, such as having an action plan to prevent work related stress, help reduc-ing psychosocial risks in the workplace, but do not mitigate the relationship between psychosocial risks and management technologies.
