Working at the limit - Higher demands, more negative health outcomes
BIBB/BAuA-Factsheet 24
Those who frequently work at the limits of their capacities often face additional mental and physical demands at work. They tend to feel more burdened and more frequently suffer from psychosomatic complaints such as fatigue, exhaustion, or irritability. In addition, they increasingly report musculoskeletal complaints, such as pain in the shoulder and neck area. In the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2012, psychosomatic complaints were reported more often than musculoskeletal complaints.
