The Gutenberg health study: a five-year prospective analysis of psychosocial working conditions using COPSOQ (Copenhagen psychosocial questionnaire) and ERI (effort-reward imbalance)

Table 7 COPSOQ prospective linear regression models selected with forward stepwise regression (factors shown in the order of selection). Four health and work related outcomes at the 5-year follow–up (t1) were predicted by the COPSOQ scales at baseline (t0)
