OBJECTIVES: To identify the impact of job satisfaction on the risk of disability pension. METHODS: A total of 8,338 employees were sampled from the total working population in Denmark. They were interviewed regarding age, gender, job satisfaction and health behaviour. Interview data were merged with national register data on granted disability pension for up to 15 years after baseline data collection. RESULTS: The study found a statistically significant association between low job satisfaction and disability pension for women when adjusted for age, smoking status and BMI. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results, investing in giving workers a satisfying work environment could be a low-cost way of improving employee health and prolonging labour market participation.
