Notes: Reliabilities (omega) are presented on the diagonal. Sex (1 = man, 2 = woman). LF = Laissez-fare (0–4), JS = Job satisfaction (1–4), BO = Work-related burnout (1–5), RC = Role clarity (0–4). Wald chi-square (χ²) tests of mean equality for the two wellbeing outcomes between T1 and T3: job satisfaction (χ² (1) = 1627.64, p = 0.00), work-related burnout (χ² (1) = 4.95, p = 0.03) indicate lowered job satisfaction and increased work-related burnout over time. ***p < .001.**p < .01.*p < .05.

T1 = time 1 (baseline), T2 = time 2 (nine month follow-up), T3 = time 3 (two years follow-up). ***p < .001, **p < .01, *p < .05. Correlations between latent variables at the same measurement-point were omitted for presentation reasons.
