Work related stress and well-being: the roles of direct action coping and palliative coping
2006
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the roles of direct action coping and palliative coping in the relationship between work stressors and psychological well-being, as well as their possible interactions, in a sample of 464 bank employees. Hierarchical regression analyses showed main effects of direct action coping on well-being. Palliative coping predicts higher levels of psychological distress. Contrary to what was expected, the interactions between work stressors and direct action coping were not significant. Palliative coping interacted with work stressors when predicting psychosomatic complaints. The interaction between the two types of coping was significant on psychosomati…
Respuestas psicobiológicas en profesores al inicio y al final de un curso académico
2013
La evidencia científica indica que el estrés laboral incrementa el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular. Las respuestas emocionales, cardiovasculares y endocrinas se ven afectadas por la experiencia diaria. La percepción de estrés, el estado de ánimo negativo, la frecuencia cardíaca (FC) y la presión arterial (PA) incrementan en los periodos laborales. La respuesta del cortisol (C) no es tan clara, existiendo resultados contradictorios. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar en profesores los marcadores de estrés durante dos jornadas laborales. Además se evaluó el papel del género en la respuesta de estrés en 49 profesores. Para ello, se midió la percepción de estrés, el estado de ánimo, la…

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 …
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…
Psychosocial safety climate: Conceptual distinctiveness and effect on job demands and worker psychological health
2012
Abstract Psychosocial safety climate is an emerging construct that refers to shared perceptions regarding policies, practices, and procedures for the protection of worker psychological health and safety. The purpose of the research was to: (1) demonstrate that psychosocial safety climate is a construct distinct from related climate measures (i.e., physical safety climate, team psychological safety, and perceived organizational support); and (2) test the proposition that organizational psychosocial safety climate determines work conditions (i.e., job demands) and subsequently worker psychological health. We used samples from two different cultures; an Australian sample (N = 126 workers in 16…
Prevalence of psychosocial risks in the justice administration staff of the valencian community (Spain)
2016
The objective of the study was to evaluate the psychosocial factors in the work of the justice personnel of Valencia (Spain) to identify the prevalence of psychosocial risks. The participants were 402 workers (28.11 % men) including managers, processors, and social assistants. We assessed using the UNIPSICO questionnaire (includes demand factors, resource factors, and consequences of psychosocial risks). The main risks were work overload (46.02 % of participants in a high risk situation) within the demands; the lack of resources to carry out the work (76.37 % in a high risk situation); and the lack of autonomy (67.41 % in a high risk situation). For the consequences, 61.44 % of participants…
Darbinieku apzinātības prakses saistība ar darba un uztvertā stresa līmeni
2021
Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot pašnovērtētā uztvertā stresa un darba stresa saistību ar apzinātības prakšu izmantošanu darbinieku vidū. Pētījumā kopā piedalījās 137 dalībnieki (111 sievietes, un 26 vīrieši) vecumā no 21 līdz 72 gadiem (M=37,91; SD=13,64). Lai novērtētu darba stresu, tika izmantota Darba stresoru skala (JSS -Job stressor scales, Spector & Jex, 1997), kas tika adaptēta latviešu valodā Evijas Gailes bakalaura darba “Apmierinātība ar darbu saistībā ar stresu darba vietā” ietvaros, 2013. gadā. Kā arī tika izmantota Uztvertā stresa skala (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)) (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983), kas tika adaptēta latviešu valodā (Stokenberga, 2008), un lai mērītu apz…
Long-term profiles of work-related rumination associated with leadership, job demands, and exhaustion : A three-wave study
2017
ABSTRACTThis study extends previous research on recovery from work stress by investigating the role of qualitative job demands and leadership in employees’ work-related rumination (WRR). The long-term development of WRR was examined from a person-centred approach across 22 months. Drawing on the stressor-detachment framework and conservation of resources theory, we investigated whether different WRR profiles could be understood in terms of levels of and changes in quantitative, cognitive, and emotional job demands, several aspects of supervisory leadership, and exhaustion that was expected to result from the impeded energy restoration process. A three-wave questionnaire study was conducted …
Associations of physical activity, fitness, and body composition with heart rate variability–based indicators of stress and recovery on workdays: a c…
2014
Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and body composition are associated with heart rate variability (HRV)-based indicators of stress and recovery on workdays. Additionally, we evaluated the association of objectively measured stress with self-reported burnout symptoms. Methods. Participants of this cross-sectional study were 81 healthy males (age range 26–40 y). Stress and recovery on workdays were measured objectively based on HRV recordings. CRF and anthropometry were assessed in laboratory conditions. The level of PA was based on a detailed PA interview (MET index [MET-h/d]) and self-reported activity class…
