Professor Cary Cooper recently published an article showing that respondents in a recent Gallup study who indicated they were 'actively disengaged' at work or had 'poor quality' jobs, reported lower levels of well-being than those who were unemployed.
Respondents were also "less likely than unemployed people to feel well rested, treated with respect, to smile or laugh a lot, have learned something interesting, or experienced enjoyment the day before the survey."
Professor Cooper also quotes another research piece from the Centre for Mental Health Research at the Australian National University in Canberra. This study found that the mental health of those who were unemployed was about the same or better than those in the poorest quality jobs.
This is not a new concept says Professor Cooper, quoting research by Waddell and Burton (2006) which concluded that "work is generally good for your health and well-being, provided you have a good job".
To find out what is a "good job" visit Professor Cooper's blog at www.carycooperblog.com and read the rest of his article on the topic of good quality work.
