Decent Work in Italy: A Network Analysis
Australian Journal of Career Development, v31 n1 p42-56 Apr 2022
The present study investigated the Italian version of the Decent Work Scale (DWS) with a sample of 645 workers (females = 65.1%; mean age = 43.9 years; SD = 10.9) according to a network perspective. We compared factorial and network models and estimated the regularized partial correlations for the five DWS domains: "physically and interpersonally safe working conditions" (SC), "access to healthcare" (AH), "adequate compensation" (AC), "hours that allow for free time and rest" (FT) and "organizational values complement family and social values" (CV). The results highlighted that the network model showed the best fit to the data. Among the most central domains in the network, the high centrality of CV suggests that this domain could represent an effective target for actions addressed to fostering decent work in Italy. In contrast, the low centrality of AC and FT underlines the urgent need to advocate for more decent remunerations and working hours in Italy.
