This paper examines two research questions. First, we investigate whether specific occupational groups experienced changes in the recognition they received during the Covid-19 crisis. Second, we analyse whether occupational recognition can promote compliance with infection control measures. In addition, we distinguish between a micro-level of job recognition and compliance in the direct working environment on the one hand and a macro-level of recognition of occupational groups and general acceptance of infection control measures on the other. We find that health care occupations and “basic occupations” (essential occupations that do not require formal training) report an increase in recognition received by society during the pandemic, but still perceive the lowest levels of recognition overall. These groups also report lower levels of political recognition and do not feel adequately remunerated. Furthermore, occupational recognition has a positive impact on compliance with infection control measures. We identify institutional trust as the most important mediator. While occupational recognition in the immediate work environment has the greatest impact on micro-level compliance at the workplace, occupational recognition at the macro-level is relevant for accepting closures of public facilities, various restrictions and the intention to get vaccinated.
