Working conditions and health of knowledge workers

BIBB/BAuA-Factsheet 42

Data from the 2018 BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey indicate that knowledge workers often have work-related resources, such as autonomy. However, they also have to deal with high work demands, especially work intensity. Despite the resources, high demands can pose a risk to health and well-being. Knowledge workers experience more fatigue and headaches and find it more difficult to detach from work compared to non-knowledge workers.
