N2  - INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to identify psychosocial work factors that may individually or, in combination, influence injury outcomes among aging United States (U.S.) workers. <br><br>METHODS: Data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS) of 3305 working adults, aged 50 years and above, were used to identify associations between work-related psychosocial factors and injury incidence from 2006 to 2014, using adjusted incidence rate ratios. <br><br>RESULTS: Employees perceiving their work as high in psychological and physical demands/efforts, low in support, and rewards, compared to those in workplaces with low demands, high support, and high rewards, had a risk of injury two times greater. Males compared with females, had a greater risk for injuries when interactions among several psychosocial work-related factors were modeled. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The fact that important gender-based differences emerged when interactions among the psychosocial factors and injury were modeled, suggests opportunities for further research and potential interventions to enhance the working environment.<br><br>© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
