Abstract

While research is mainly focused on the role of gender and biological/chronological age in the relationship between Work Ability Index and Effort/Reward Imbalance, this study addresses the association between work-related stress and work ability, taking into account the role of family status and work-family conflict. In a representative sample of 3949 female Italian nurses, relationships were analyzed by means of Random Forests Analysis and General Linear Models (GLM). The results confirm that, among Italian nurses, work-related stress and work family conflict are associated with lower work ability and these variables affect work ability mostly in an independent way.
