Safe to stay: A longitudinal evaluation of the sequential relationship between psychological safety, work self-efficacy, fatigue, and employment exit intentions of employees with multiple sclerosis

Our findings indicate that PS represents a supportive job resource that is critical in dealing with work-related demands, which helps explain why employees leave before medically assessed disability would indicate the need to. Over time, employees who experience a work environment characterised by PS also experience higher levels of WSE and reduced perceptions of work-related fatigue, which in turn reduces the risk of prematurely leaving employment. Interventions targeting these modifiable aspects of the workplace psychosocial climate are required.
