RESEARCH Methodology: Correspondence Analysis Main issues: data and questionnaires Main Objective: to reach a “subspace” that represents the initial characteristics, by maintaining the maximum information Explains the relationship between multiple variables Represents, geometrically, contingency table in order to identify the association between qualitative variables Compares at the same time, in a two dimensions plan, the variables mutual position. The relevance of each variable will be defined by his contribution to the total variance The more a point is far from the axis origin, the more the modality that it represents affects the identification of the axis itself Dipartimento Medicina del Lavoro A Multivariate analysis approach that is best suited for qualitative

In conclusion, the following are a series of possible multi-level interventions to improve the working conditions of the employees of the credit institutions interviewed: • 1) at the organisational level, in light of the results obtained, a holistic approach should be adopted with the aim of integrating OSH in the banks’ policy strategy, to improve personnel management policies and training. • 2) at the individual-organisational interface level, a research/intervention on participation should be implemented in order to deal with occupational health and safety aspects, especially in the prevention of psychosocial hazards. • 3) at the individual level, employees should be helped by developing their coping abilities, time management techniques, relaxation techniques and by providing them with counselling.
