Do women report a higher level of coworker support than men? If so, do dimensions of work contribute to that difference? To address these questions, I examined data from a sample of employed Toronto residents. Overall, women reported a higher level of coworker support than men. Job authority and nonroutine work are associated positively with coworker support, while job noxiousness is associated negatively with coworker support. In addition, two gender-contingent associations between work dimensions and coworker support emerge: (1) job autonomy is associated positively with coworker support among women only, and (2) job demands are associated negatively with coworker support among women and positively with coworker support among men. I discussed ways that these findings fit into and extend sociological analysis of the links between occupational life and psychosocial functioning
