Abstract

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) constitute an economic burden on most health occupational systems. They, in fact, experience several neurocognitive deficits, excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue and work-related limitations. Although the clinical relevance, only recently some authors focused on the relationship between OSA and a wider range of work-related variables. The aim of this study is to deepen the OSA’s strategies underlying job-crafting, a proactive bottom-up strategy that workers implement to redesign their job tasks to improve their job management. We assessed 25 previously untreated mild to severe OSA patients with a mean age of 52.2 (±9.80 years) and a mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 43.89 (±19.1). A control group of 27 healthy participants was also enrolled. Data suggest job crafting strategies are adopted with the same frequency in the two groups, although the differences lie on the typology of strategy used. Moreover, job crafting could positively impact self-perceived job performance in OSA patients. The impact of job crafting on performance becomes higher as a function of OSA severity (i.e., AHI), while sleepiness does not moderate the relation between job crafting and self-perceived job performance. OSA patients do not adopt job crafting strategies to cope with their sleepiness, but to balance cognitive failures, mainly related to hypoxia. Results are discussed in terms of possible compensation mechanisms adopted by OSA patients: job crafting strategies may be conceived as a self-determined way to cope with their difficulties and to support their work performances.
