Psychosocial Safety Climate: A New Work Stress Theory and Implications for Method
2019
This book responds to a public health priority (Whiteford et al., 2013) and a call from the WHO (2016), ILO (2016) and OECD (2012) to prevent and manage mental ill-health and promote health and well-being by drawing attention to the connection between work and mental health. By demonstrating a link between work factors and mental health-related issues, this book will provide public policy makers with evidence needed to shift policy attention to create mentally healthy workplaces and move investment of health, compensation, and insurance funding into proactive prevention strategies rather than costly treatments, medications, therapy, and hospitalisation. Ensuring workplaces globally have the…

The Role of Work-Nonwork Boundary Management in Work Stress Recovery
2016
The aim of the present study conducted among 1,106 Finnish employees was to identify boundary management profiles based on cross-role interruption behaviors from work to nonwork and from nonwork to work. Adopting a person-oriented approach through latent profile analysis, 5 profiles were identified: Work Guardians (21% of the employees), Nonwork Guardians (14%), Integrators (25%), Separators (18%), and an Intermediate Group (22%). We then examined differences between these profiles with respect to recovery experiences (psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences, and control during off-job time) and recovery outcomes (vigor and exhaustion). Work Guardians had the poo…
The relationship between leisure-time physical activity and stress on workdays with special reference to heart rate variability analyses
2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical activity (PA), cardio- respiratory fitness, and body composition are associated with objective heart rate variability (HRV)-based indicators of stress and recovery on workdays. Additionally, the association of subjective self-reported stress with HRV-based stress was investigated. Samples of 81 healthy men (age 26–40 years), and 16 275 Finnish employees (6863 men and 9412 women; age 18–65 years) were assessed in the cross-sectional analyses. A sample of 221 overweight psychologically distressed individuals (36 men and 185 women; age 26–60 years) was examined in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. HRV-based stress and reco…
