Notes. The proportion ‘attaching more importance’ corresponds to the sum of those who indicated ‘certainly more important’ and ‘somewhat more important’ to the related survey item (see S2 Text in S1 File). The relationship to the personal and job characteristics was analysed by means of a linear regression analysis with heteroscedasticity-robust standard errors (in which all characteristics mentioned in Table 1 were included). The significance level was set as p < 0.05. N = 3,821.
