Factors Contributing to Different Agency in Work and Study

2013

Most young adults today are following longer educational tracks and postpone entrance into the workforce. This 2-year study aimed to determine factors contributing to occupational self-efficacy in a representative sample of n = 1,891 young adults ( M = 23.92, SD = 2.17 years) with different work statuses (studying, in an apprenticeship, employed, or unemployed). Occupational identity, perceived work quality, the ability to cope with work stress, and symptomatology were assessed. Path analyses revealed that work status was the most important predictor of later occupational self-efficacy, with employment showing the strongest prediction of later agency in the professional domain. Ruminative e…

Arbeitssituation und Gesundheit von Hausärzten in Rheinland-Pfalz: Erste Ergebnisse einer landesweiten Befragung,

2011

Die vorliegende Studie sollte das Ausmas von arbeitsbedingter Belastung und Stress sowie die gesundheitliche Situation deutscher Hausarzte mittels standardisierter und validierter Instrumente erfassen. Daruber hinaus sollten Moglichkeiten der systematischen Stresspravention in der Zielpopulation eruiert werden. Das Institut fur Arbeits-, Sozial- und Umweltmedizin der Universitatsmedizin Mainz fuhrte in den Monaten Juni und Juli 2009 eine landesweite anonyme Befragung aller in Rheinland-Pfalz niedergelassenen Facharzte fur Allgemeinmedizin, praktischen Arzte und Arzte ohne Facharztausbildung auf postalischem Weg durch (Querschnittsdesign, N=2 092). 808 Arzte nahmen teil (Rucklaufquote 38,6%)…

Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Burnout among Spanish Teachers: A Mediation Study

2021

espanolLa utilidad de la inteligencia emocional y su efecto tranquilizador sobre el estres laboral de los profesores han ido cobrando importancia en este campo de investigacion. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar la relacion entre las habilidades emocionales y el sindrome de burnout y si el equilibrio afectivo media esta asociacion. Se han utilizado modelos de ecuaciones estructurales con datos de autoinforme de 200 profesores cuya edad estaba comprendida entre los 22 y los 64 anos (M = 44.97, SD = 9.31, 73.50% mujeres). Se utilizo un diseno transversal para el estudio. Los resultados mostraron un efecto significativo directo e indirecto de la claridad y de la reparacion emocional…

Identity configurations across love and work in emerging adults in romantic relationships

2014

Love and work constitute two life-defining identity domains for emerging adults. The present study utilized a five-dimensional identity model and examined identity configurations across these two domains, capturing the degree to which identity statuses correspond across domains. A sample of German 18–30-year-olds who were either working or studying and engaged in a romantic relationship was assessed at baseline and three years later. Six identity clusters emerged in each domain. Combining identity clusters across love and work domains, 7 identity configurations were distinguished. Whereas some configurations were characterized by strong commitments in one or both domains, other configuratio…

The annual costs of cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders attributable to job strain in France.

2013

International audience; BACKGROUND: Work stress has become a major occupational risk factor in industrialized countries and an important economic issue. The objective was to estimate the annual costs of coronary heart diseases (CHD) and mental disorders (MD) attributable to job strain exposure according to Karasek's model in France for the year 2003 from a societal perspective. METHODS: We produced attributable fraction estimates which were applied to the number of cases (morbidity and mortality) and the costs of CHD and MD. Relative risk estimates came from a systematic literature review of prospective studies. We conducted meta-analyses based on this selection of studies. Prevalence of ex…

Job strain in public transport drivers: Data to assess the relationship between demand-control model indicators, traffic accidents and sanctions

2018

This Data in Brief (DiB) article examines the association between the Job Demand-Control (JDC) model of stress and traffic safety outcomes (accidents and sanctions) in public transport drivers (n = 780). The data was collected using a structured self-administrable questionnaire composed of measurements of work stress (Job Content Questionnaire), and demographics (professional driving experience, hours and days working/driving per week). The data contains 4 parts: descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations between the study variables, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post-Hoc comparisons between drivers classified different quadrants of the JDC model. For further information, it is conve…

Cardiorespiratory information dynamics during mental arithmetic and sustained attention

2015

An analysis of cardiorespiratory dynamics during mental arithmetic, which induces stress, and sustained attention was conducted using information theory. The information storage and internal information of heart rate variability (HRV) were determined respectively as the self-entropy of the tachogram, and the self-entropy of the tachogram conditioned to the knowledge of respiration. The information transfer and cross information from respiration to HRV were assessed as the transfer and cross-entropy, both measures of cardiorespiratory coupling. These information-theoretic measures identified significant nonlinearities in the cardiorespiratory time series. Additionally, it was shown that, alt…

Psychobiological responses at the beginning and the end of an academic year in teachers

2013

Evidence shows that work stress increases risk of cardiovascular disease. Emotional, cardiovascular and endocrine responses are affected by day-to-day experience. Perceived stress, negative mood, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) increase in working periods. Cortisol (C) response is not so clear, there being contradictory results. The main purpose is to study stress markers in two working days in teachers. Moreover, we evaluate the role of gender in stress markers in 49 school teachers. Perceived stress, mood, BP, HR, and C were measured at the beginning and at the end of an academic year. Results show that psychological and heart rate responses to a working day were different at the …
