To measure job quality, as part of our long-standing European Working Conditions Survey, Eurofound developed seven indices to represent various dimensions of job quality based on work characteristics that have an independent influence on health and well-being.
Seven dimensions: Physical environment; Work intensity; Working time quality; Social environment; Skills and discretion; Prospects; Earnings.
Essentially, those characteristics of work that protect and promote our health and well-being ensure good job quality, while those that erode our health or well-being contribute to poor job quality.
