Abstract Introduction Insufficient sleep is ubiquitous among active duty service members in operational settings. Although insufficient sleep has been linked to poor cognitive, psychological, and physiological outcomes in military populations, little research has investigated the impact of insufficient sleep on Soldier occupational wellbeing. This study examined the longitudinal association between sleep quality and occupational functioning in a population of active duty U.S. Army Soldiers. Methods Sixty male Soldiers (age 25.41±3.74 years) participated. Sleep quality and occupational outcomes were assessed four weeks apart (before and after an annual training mission). Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Occupational outcome measures included the Emotional Exhaustion Scale, Walter Reed Functional Impairment Short Scale, Role Overload Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale. Linear regressions assessed the prediction of PSQI Global Score on occupational outcome scores. Student’s t-tests compared occupational outcomes between “good” and “poor” sleepers (PSQI Global Score > 5 = poor sleeper). Results Poorer sleep quality at baseline broadly predicted poor occupational outcomes post-training. Specifically, higher PSQI Global Scores predicted higher emotional exhaustion (B = 1.6, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.25), functional impairment (B = 0.29, p < 0.03, R2 = 0.14), role overload (B = 28, p < 0.008, R2 = 0.12), and perceived stress (B = 0.34, p < 0.004, R2 = 0.2). Furthermore, occupational outcome scores were significantly higher in poor sleepers than good sleepers: emotional exhaustion: (t(58) = -4.18, p < .001); functional impairment: (t(59) = -3.68, p = .001); role overload (t(58) = -3.20, p = .002); and perceived stress (t(58) = -2.43, p = .02). Conclusion This study identified a longitudinal relationship between sleep quality and occupational outcomes, suggesting that service members with poor sleep may be at risk for experiencing poor workplace wellbeing. Given the association between service member wellbeing and likelihood to re-enlist, insufficient sleep may negatively impact Soldier attrition. Future studies should aim to augment sleep quality and track occupational outcomes in this population.

This study assessed whether knowledge of employment-related public policies was related to occupational outcome among people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and explored factors that facilitated their engagement in occupational activities. The sample was 57 individuals with SCI. Knowledge of public policies was assessed using a 16-item questionnaire covering legislation and programs including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Trial Work Period, and the Ticket to Work – Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. Computer use and participation in educational activities at time of injury were significantly related to occupational outcome. No significant relationship was observed between knowledge of the assessed public policies and occupational outcome. These policies can facilitate developing skills and obtaining goods and supports that can be important for positive occupational outcome subsequent to a life changing impairment such as SCI. Future research that evaluates what information is most important for whom and how to communicate it most effectively is warranted.

This chapter extends the sceptical discussion of meritocracy to higher education, and access to employment. The professions’ partially successful attempt to achieve a closed shop restricts entry by those from less advantaged homes, and the less academically skilled of their own children. Data on qualifications and ‘personal qualities’ required for recruitment show detailed connections between social and cultural capital, and occupational outcome, are complicated. Higher education is status stratified: not all degrees are equal. The Higher Education Initial Participation Rate (‘HEIPR’) exaggerates the number of graduates; other statistical sources do not include data on social class. Increasing student diversity does not automatically increase mobility: working class students continue to be disadvantaged once they enter university. Meritocratic and individualistic explanations of mobility are inadequate.
