Deskripsi
The data from this study corroborate the main results of many studies on the relationships between job precariousness and increased occupational health and safety (OHS) risks. This project consists of four studies of cases of local community service centre (CLSC) homecare services (HS) and shows how work organization can have a positive or negative effect on the protective strategies used by HS homecare workers and nurses. Positive organizational practices would have the same effects on regular employees as on those with a precarious status; however, the latter rarely benefit from this support. As for organizational dysfunction, precarious employees have less margin of maneuver to compensate for it. They therefore face a two-fold greater occupational health and safety risk.
