Abstract

This article presents an overview of empirical studies dealing with work intensification. Work intensification is in part a result of the developments in late capitalism and the ever-increasing possibilities of information and communication technologies (ICT). The results of large international panel studies and longitudinal studies confirm an increase of work intensification since the 1990s. Whereby since about 2010 this increase has declined somewhat. A large number of employees are affected by work intensification, which could be shown as a health relevant stressor in addition to time pressure. Even workplace safety may be negatively affected by work intensification. Those especially affected by intensification are younger employees and managers. Intensive use of ICT may further increase work intensification, although well-known job resources (job autonomy, social support) may serve as protective factors. Conditional prevention, like the definition of legal requirements, is of special importance.
