Stressors, resources, and well-being among Latino and White warehouse workers in the United States
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 09/24/09

Hoppe A et al. – These differential results challenge us to consider how cultural factors, expectations and the prior work history of Latino workers may influence their experience of work and the effect of work on health.

Methods

59 Latino warehouse workers were matched with White workers by job title, job tenure, and warehouse facility.
Matched sample t tests and linear regression analyses models were conducted.

Results

Results reveal similar psychosocial stressors and resources for both groups.
However, Latino workers reported better well–being. For Latino workers, social resources at work such as management fairness and supervisor support have a stronger relationship with well–being.
For White workers wage fairness is the most significant predictor for well–being.
