The research program leading up to this study produced five factors of deceptive communication---acceptance of deception, ethics, motives, intentionality, and upbringing---that may represent the thoughts people have about communication, which in turn may influence when one deceives, who is deceived and how deceptive messages are formulated. By applying the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1988; Ajzen & Madden, 1986), this study determines the extent to which these five constructs constitute a mental conceptualization of deception. In addition, this study intends to determine the internal consistency and dimensional structure of the factors confirmed through this project. The results of this study will have several implications, including future studies examining how this relationship makes a link between one&#...

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2016 the rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in construction was 32.7 per 10 000 full-time equivalent workers, which was 11% higher than the rate for all industries combined. The objective of this study was to examine the rate and cost of WMSDs due to overexertion, the leading cause of WMSDs, among construction workers by age group in Ohio using workers’ compensation claims.MethodsOverexertion related WMSDs allowed claims, submitted to Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation (OBWC) by workers in the construction industry for injuries occurring from 2007–2013 were analyzed to compute rates of allowed claims and claim costs by age group. The American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau was us...

A Total Worker Health (TWH) Research Methodology Workshop was convened to discuss research methods and future needs. Methods: Twenty-six experts in occupational safety and health and related fields reviewed and discussed current methodological and measurement issues and those showing promise. Results: TWH intervention studies face the same challenges as other workplace intervention studies and some unique ones. Examples are provided of different approaches and their applications to TWH intervention studies, and desired developments in the TWH literature. Conclusions: This report discusses and outlines principles important to building the TWH intervention research base. Rigorous, valid methodologic, and measurement approaches are needed for TWH intervention as well as for basic/etiologic, translational, and surveillance research.

Both factors were significantly correlated with participants ’ self reports of marital satisfaction. Implications for the relationships between health-related talk and marriage are discussed.

Moreover, emerging trends, such as the shift toward nonstandard or contingent work arrangements and the erosion of defined-benefit plans, will require workers to prolong their stay in the workforce. Hence, understanding the safety and health needs of aging workers is a necessity, not only to better protect and advance the safety, health, and well-being of those who work into later life but also to take advantage of the important contributions that older individuals can make to their employers and society as a whole. The National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) has long recognized the growing need to examine the impact of age-related changes on the occupational safety and health (OSH) outcomes and well-being of aging workers. In 2015, NIOSH launched the National Center for Productive Agi...

This chapter provides an occupational health perspective on workplace design with the ultimate goal of maximizing worker safety, health, and well-being. To set the stage for this perspective, the burden of occupational injuries and illnesses is discussed, as well as changes in occupational health outcomes (both positive and negative) that will likely occur as the workforce grows older. Four guiding principles of an occupational health perspective on aging are also described. The concept of age-friendly environments is examined through the lens of well-established efforts in two domains outside of the workplace (aging in place, age-friendly communities/cities). Next, drawing on case studies and current research findings, strategies for designing age-friendly workplaces are presented. These strategies include modifications of the work environment, changes in human resource policy,...

These demographic shifts have made the issue of healthier workers, especially those of advanced age, more pressing. The National Center for Productive Aging and Work (NCPAW) advances lifelong well-being for workers of all ages and supports a productive aging across the working life. The Center continues to work on such important issues as how organizations are addressing the needs of an aging workforce and identifying interventions and strategies to support both workers of all age groups and organizations that employ them.

Nearly 90% of construction jobs require manual handling of materials for approximately one half of the worker's time (1). In 2015, overexertion from lifting and lowering materials caused 30% of WMSDs among construction workers; overexertion involving pushing, pulling, holding, carrying, and catching materials caused an additional 37% of WMSDs (1). This study examined the rate and cost of WMSD claims from overexertion among Ohio construction workers during 2007-2017. Workers' compensation claims related to overexertion that were submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation (OHBWC) by workers in the construction industry for injuries and illnesses occurring during 2007-2017 were analyzed. Rates and costs of allowed claims were measured by age group. Workers aged 35-44 years experienced the highest claim rate: 63 per 10,000 full-time employees (FTEs) for WM...

Comorbid depressive symptoms among U.S. workers with diabetes are associated with increased unemployment and reduced work performance. This study examined the age-group–specific prevalence of depression among U.S. workers with self-reported diabetes and identified factors associated with depression. METHODS Data from the 2014–2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were used to examine the prevalence of depression among adult workers with diabetes in the United States. Relationships between depression prevalence and diabetes and demographic, physical, and behavioral risk factors were examined through bivariate and multivariable analyses. Age was categorized into four groups: 18–34, 35–54, 55–64, and ≥65 years. RESULTS The overall prevalence of self-reported depression among U.S. workers with diabetes was 17.4%—30% higher than among those without diabetes. Workers with diabetes aged 18–34 years had the highest depression...

The objective of this article is to elucidate and expand an approach to keep that workforce safe, healthy, and productive. This article elucidates the framework for the National Center for Productive Aging at Work of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Subject matter experts used a snowball method to review published literature to substantiate elements in the framework. Evidence-based literature supports a productive aging framework for the workforce involving the following elements: 1) life span perspective; 2) comprehensive and integrated approaches to occupational safety and health; 3) emphasis on positive outcomes for both workers and organizations; and 4) supportive work culture for multigenerational issues. The productive aging framework provides a foundational and comprehensive approach for addressing the aging workforce.
