Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how long working hours, psychosocial safety climate (PSC), and work engagement (WE) are related to developing major depression symptoms over a year among Australian workers, finding that low PSC significantly increases depression risk, especially for males, while long hours alone are less directly connected.
  • Long working hours (especially 41-48 and 55 hours/week) can increase depression symptoms when mild cases are removed, and high work engagement may also contribute to depression through its association with longer hours.
  • The overall findings suggest that improving workplace psychological safety and managing work engagement and hours could help reduce new cases of major depression among employees.
