Key: IQR = interquartile range; SD = standard deviation; F: F-statistic, ANOVA; χ2: Kruskal-Wallis chi-squared test; The letters in superscript identify statistically significant (p<0.05) post-hoc comparisons, conducted using Holm’s correction for multiple comparisons; Each job category has been associated with a letter in the first row of the table; Lack of time to get work done, job autonomy, and supervisory support ranged from 0 to 4.
