The aim of this research project was to identify the job demands of fulltime academic faculty at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) who had been offered participation in an economic incentive program, and their association with adverse physical and mental health in 2012. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a convenience sample of 95 faculty members. A survey questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographic information, work conditions, job demands, implications of participating in the incentive program, and adverse health effects. The data were analyzed using JMP8 software, and controlling for age, gender and seniority; a p-value less than or
equal to 0.05 was regarded as stastically significant. Overal, 54% of the sample were women, with a mean age of 53.2 years. Sixty-three percent of respondents participated in the economic incentive program; of these, 50% considered the quality of their work had
not improved, and another 30% felt it limited their participation in team work. Overall, they felt their work was satisfactory because it allows them to further develop their skills and knowledge. The main job demands were to meet productivity objectives (77%) and to have to work on non-work days (71%). Three adverse health effects were identified: distress (38%), sleep disorders (35%), and anxiety (34%). The demands related to achieving the economic
incentive were associated with self-reported adverse health effects. A similar association was found among participants not in the economic incentive program, but with a large work load. |
