Full textAbstract:
Incidents of incivility in the workplace have continued to increase in frequency. Workplace incivility impacts the health and well-being of those who experience or witness the behavior and impacts morale, levels of engagement, attendance, retention, and overall organizational health. Researchers have explored the damage caused by workplace incivility, but few have focused on the impact of incivility among federally employed women. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to examine the relationship between incivility, job satisfaction, and job stress among women working in the federal sector. The affective events theory framed this study. Online surveys were used to capture perceptions of workplace incivility while controlling for demographics (i.e., age, race, ethnicity, general schedule level, position, and tenure). Survey responses from 94 federally employed women were analyzed using a regression model. Findings revealed a negative correlation between job satisfaction and job stress, and a positive correlation between incivility and job stress. The findings can be used to create a positive social change within organizations. Organizational development professionals can use the analyses to interrupt and reverse patterns of negative workplace interactions and worker mistreatment.

Siekiant geriau suprasti verslo organizacijų darbuotojų patiriamą darbinį stresą ir pasitenkinimą darbu, jų ryšio nustatymas pasirinktas šio tyrimo tikslu. Kad jį atskleistume, naudojome tris metodikas: Veiksnių, Sukeliančių Stresą Darbe, Įvertinimo Klausimyną (Gulbinaitė, 2007), Pasitenkinimo Darbu Skalę (Spector, 1985) ir Streso Įveikos Klausimyną (Grakauskas, Valickas, 2006), kuriomis ištirta 118 tiriamųjų. Gauti rezultatai parodė, jog vyrai, labiau nei moterys, patiria didesnį darbinį stresą, susijusį su darbo reikalavimais bei darbo santykiais. Tuo tarpu moterys, skirtingai nuo vyrų, patiria didesnį pasitenkinimą darbu, susijusį su darbo organizavimu. Skirtumų tarp jaunesnių (18-25m.) ir vyresnių (26-40m.) tiriamųjų darbinio streso ir pasitenkinimo darbu nenustatyta. Tačiau rasta, jog vyrų ir moterų grupėse darbiniam stresui didėjant, pasitenkinimas darbu mažėja. Taip pat gauta, jog ne visos streso įveikos strategijos susijusios tarpusavyje, su darbiniu stresu ir pasitenkinimu darbu. Nustatyta, jog trijose tiriamųjų, patirianči���� skirtingą darbinį stresą ir pasitenkinimą darbu, grupėse naudojamos streso įveikos strategijos skiriasi tik iš dalies.<br>In order to understand better the job stress and job satisfaction experienced by workers in business organizations, its link is chosen as the aim of this study. For this reason, there were used three methods: The Evaluations Questionnaire of Variables, That Cause Job Stress (Gulbinaite, 2007), Job Satisfaction Scale (Spector, 1985) and Coping with Stress Questionnaire (Grakauskas, Valickas, 2006). 118 participants took part in this study. The results indicated that men comparing with women experience a bigger job stress, connected with job requirements and job relations. Whereas women, differently than men, experience a bigger job satisfaction, connected with job planning. It was also found that there are no differences of job stress and job satisfaction in groups of younger (18-25 years) and older (26-40 years) participants. Moreover, the results indicated, that when job stress is going up, the job satisfaction is going down in men and women groups. Besides, just some stress coping strategies are interdependent, have connection with job stress and job satisfaction. Finally, stress coping strategies differ just in part in three participants groups, who experience different job stress and job satisfaction.

Jachens, Liza J. "Job stress among humanitarian aid workers." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2018. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/52237/.
Full textAbstract:
Objective: This thesis examined the prevalence of burnout, alcohol consumption, and psychological distress and their association with stress-related working conditions – defined either in terms of the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model, or the ERI model combined with the Job Demand-Control-Support (job strain) model (DCS) – in two large-scale international samples of humanitarian aid workers. The studies herein were the first in the extant literature to examine organisational stressors using job stress models in this occupational group. Furthermore, given the paucity of previous research on the subjective stress-related experiences of humanitarian aid workers, this thesis also contains an interview-based study that explored how humanitarian aid workers perceived the transactional stress process. One key characteristic of this thesis was that both quantitative and qualitative approaches were utilised to provide a deep and ecologically valid understanding of the stressor-strain relationship. Identifying the links between stressful aspects of work and both psychological and behavioural health outcomes may help inform the design of sector-specific health interventions. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted to allow for a thorough examination of the prevalence of health and health-related behavioural outcomes, their relationship to stress-related working conditions (psychosocial stressors), and the concept of work-related stress in the population under study. Survey designs were used for Study 1 and 2 and involved the administration of a structured questionnaire. For the first study (Parts 1-2, Organisation A), logistic regression analyses were run based on a cross-sectional survey (N = 1,980) conducted separately for men and women to investigate the relations between ERI and both burnout (Part 1) and heavy alcohol consumption (Part 2) while controlling for demographic and occupational characteristics. In Study 2 (Organisation B), logistic regression analyses were based on a cross-sectional survey (N = 283) conducted separately for men and women to investigate the independent and combined relations between the ERI and DCS models and psychological distress while controlling for demographic and occupational characteristics. The final study was interview-based (Study 3, Organisation B) and it explored how humanitarian aid workers (N = 58) employed by a United Nations-aligned organisation perceived the transactional stress process. Results: The prevalence rates for the burnout components were as follows: high emotional exhaustion—36% for women and 27% for men; high depersonalisation—9% and 10%; and low personal achievement—47% and 31% for women and men, respectively. Intermediate and high ERI scores were associated with a significantly increased risk of high emotional exhaustion, with mixed findings for depersonalisation and personal achievement. The prevalence of heavy alcohol consumption among women (18%) was higher than the corresponding rate for men (10%), lending support for the effort-reward perspective only among women. Intermediate and high ERI scores in women was associated with a three-fold risk of heavy alcohol consumption. The results broadly suggest that occupational stressors from the ERI and DCS models, both individually and in combination, are significantly associated with psychological distress. A thematic analysis undertaken within the qualitative study revealed several main themes. An emergency culture was found where most employees felt compelled to offer an immediate response to humanitarian needs. The rewards of humanitarian work were perceived as motivating and meaningful, and employees experienced a strong identification with humanitarian goals and reported high engagement. Constant change and urgent demands were reported by the participants to result in work overload. Finally, managing work-life boundaries, and receiving positive support from colleagues and managers, helped buffer perceived stress, work overload, and negative health outcomes. Conclusions: The results of the present thesis convincingly demonstrate the usefulness of the ERI model as a framework for investigating burnout and heavy alcohol consumption among humanitarian aid workers. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the independent and combined predictive effects of components of two alternative job stress models (ERI and DCS) on psychological distress. Taken together, the findings underscore the deleterious associations between work-related psychosocial hazards and mental and behavioural health outcomes. Specifically, unique insights were obtained about the work-related stress process in relation to humanitarian aid workers – for example, the emergency culture shaping organisational norms. The results suggest that interventions based on these two influential theories, and supplemented by knowledge on role-specific stressors evident in the sector, hold promise for reducing health outcomes. The practical implications of the results are discussed and suggestions are made in the light of the present research and stress theory.

Full textAbstract:
Guest-contact employees interact with various types of customers, and they are often exposed to stressful conditions caused by the deviant, or jay-customers. The purpose of this study is to examine how jay-customer behaviors (customer incivility and customer aggression) affect employees' job stress, and consequently, job satisfaction. Surveys of 210 participants, currently working as guest-contact employees in the hospitality industry, were analyzed for the study. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses show a positive relationship between the experience of customer incivility and employees' job stress. Additionally, the results indicate a full mediation effect of employees' job stress on the relationship between customer incivility and employees' job satisfaction. Unfortunately, the study was not able to analyze customer aggression, because the majority of the participants did not report customer aggression. The findings of this study make a contribution to the hospitality service management literature by providing empirical evidence of customer incivility and its negative impact on guest-contact employees. Hospitality managers should acknowledge the existence of jay-customer behaviors and recognize their significant impact on employees' job stress and job satisfaction.<br>M.S.<br>Masters<br>Hospitality Services<br>Hospitality Management<br>Hospitality and Tourism Management

Chikwem, Chidiebere. "The Relationship of Job Stress to Job Performance in Police Officers." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4608.
Full textAbstract:
For the past 3 decades, police officers have been diagnosed with various stress-induced health problems. Police officers are at a greater risk of various environmental health problems due to the stressful nature of their profession. While there is abundant research that explores the relationship between high stress occupations and environmental health, researchers have yet to sufficiently explore the relationships between police officers' job stress and job performance. The purpose of this correlational study was to use Cohen & McKay's conceptualization of the stress-buffering hypothesis to explore whether police officers' physical exercise moderated the negative impact of job stress on their job performance. Data were collected through an online survey administered to police officers from 2 metropolitan police departments in the United States, and data were analyzed using a hierarchical regression procedure. Findings indicted that approximately 80% of the variance in police officers' job performance is explained by job stress, indicating a negative relationship between police officers' job stress and job performance. The findings also indicated that police officers' physical exercise was positively related to their job performance. Positive social change implications stemming from study may include recommendations to police department leadership to emphasize the importance of moderating occupational stress through exercise as a method to improve their job performance. These efforts may contribute to improved public safety outcomes in communities in the United States.

Bibliography: leaves 48-53.<br>The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the practice of clinical psychology in the Western Cape. This exploratory study described biographical information, characteristics, activities, and the nature of satisfaction and stress experienced. In addition, it established the degree of burnout experienced within this community, and investigated the interrelationships between job satisfaction, job stress and burnout. The sample consisted of 90 practicing clinical psychologists registered with the Professional Board for Psychology of the South African Medical and Dental Council. A questionnaire which was designed to elicit the above-mentioned information and consisted mainly of multiple-choice-type questions was mailed to the participants. Results were quantitative in nature and were treated predominantly descriptively. The study suggested that burnout occurs in low to moderate degrees and was significantly related to age, marital status and type of clinical practice. Furthermore, it was found that therapeutic expertise seemed to be an important factor when considering the interrelationships between job satisfaction, job stress and burnout.

Full textAbstract:
Osipow and Spokane (1984) developed a model which divides occupational stress into the three main areas of stress, coping, and strain. In the past, this model has been empirically tested by the Occupational Stress Inventory (081). However, the Occupational Stress Inventory - Revised (OSI-R) has recently been developed in order to include some of the more recent developments in occupational stress literature. In addition to the original scales of the OSI, the OSI-R also contains five new experimental scales. The present study used the OSI-R to investigate differences in scale scores among management, trade/skilled, and direct labor personnel in two manufacturing plants. Although significant differences were found on the Role Insufficiency, Responsibility and Family Instrumental Support scales, the findings of this study should be questioned due to the unacceptable reliability levels on many of the OSI-R scales.<br>Department of Psychological Science

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine if a relationship existed among perceived stressful situations in the classroom and the amount of perceived stress among female secondary classroom teachers in Indiana.The population of the study consisted of 268 female secondary classroom teachers randomly selected by computer at the Indiana Department of Education.Three instruments were used in the study. The first instrument, General Information, was used to gather demographic data pertaining to Age Group, Years of Experience, Type of School System, Population of School System, Enrollment of Secondary School, Subject Area taught, and Grade Level(s) taught. The second instrument, Perceived Stress Questionnaire, was used to indicate the amount of perceived stress experienced by respondents. The third instrument, Perceived Needs in Stress Counseling, was used to indicate the type of counseling respondents perceived needed in order to help teachers deal with stress. The Perceived Stress Questionnaire and Perceived Needs in Stress Counseling Questionnaire employed a Likert-type scale with five degrees provided from which to choose: About 10% or less of the time, About 25% of the time, About 50% of the time, About 75% of the time, and About 90% or more of the time.The data were analyzed by frequency response percentages and cross tabulation for the General Information items, Perceived Stress Questionnaire items, and for Perceived Needs in Stress Counseling items.The following findings and conclusions were based on a review of the literature as presented in the study and the results of the data collected:1. Student threats and physical attacks are major sources of stress among discipline problems for teachers.2. Administrators not supportive of teachers in conflict situations in the presence of students are a predominant stress factor.3. Students not cooperative in class are a major source of stress for responding teachers.4. Student Apathy and lack of volunteerism in class are not major sources of stress among respondents.5. Parents defending their child's misbehavior are a major source of stress among Lack of Parental Support items.6. The majority of teachers responding did not desire stress counseling to assist them in dealing with classroom stress.

Full textAbstract:
This large scale study (869 participants from a mental health Trust) employed a questionnaire based on an interactional model of occupational stress to investigate (i) burnout in psychiatric nurses, (ii) occupational stress in medics and the professions allied to medicine, (iii) job satisfaction in health service management and support staff, and (iv) the moderating effect of social support in health service personnel. A range of analytic procedures were used including hierarchical regression analysis. Levels of burnout in nurses were low overall, although a significant proportion reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Among nurses, negative affectivity and predictability acted as common factors across the three constructs of the burnout syndrome. Medics and professions allied to medicine (P.AM. 's) reported similar levels of stressors to each other. Role ambiguity, role conflict and predictability, in combination with negative affectivity, accounted for most of the reported work related stressors of medics and P.AM. 's. Levels of job satisfaction in management and support staff was on a par with their peers elsewhere. Role ambiguity, role conflict, job future ambiguity, control and non-occupational concerns had an influence on job satisfaction among management and support staff. A significant proportion of nurses, medics and P.AM.'s reported low levels of work support. Those most at risk in this regard appeared to be highly educated, community based, non-shift workers. Higher levels of support were associated with increased job satisfaction and lower levels of both emotional exhaustion and psychological distress. The model adopted in the present study, although not necessarily applicable to all occupational groups, had utility in understanding the complex relationships between variables in this population from a mental health Trust. Despite common themes emerging across occupational groups, clear differences were also apparent, reinforcing the need for tailor-made interventions in occupational stress. The results also highlighted the necessity of including individual characteristics and nonoccupational stressors in any consideration of occupational stress. Further recommendations for each occupational group and the NHS in general are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The healthcare industry is undergoing rapid changes. Nursing is in the midst of this dynamic process and is experiencing increased stress as a result. This is especially true of the oncology nurse speciality. The responsibilities of the oncology nurses are becoming more complex. Methods to intervene or master the stress are needed. If mastery of the stress is not achieved, oncology nurses may abandon their speciality and enter another field of nursing or leave the nursing profession. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the stress perceived by oncology nurses and the mastery of this stress.The conceptual framework used in this study was the theory of mastery developed by Younger. The Mastery of Stress Instrument (MSI) developed by Younger was used to measure the stress component and the mastery component. A descriptive correlational study design was used. The population for this study was a convenience sample of the responding members of a midwestern chapter of the oncology nursing society (n= 39). Participation in the study was voluntary, with the MSI and the demographic data being returned by self-addressed postage-paid envelope. The MSI was identified by number only. No names were assigned to the numbers to insure anonymity of the subjects. The data was discussed as group data. No risks to the participants were identified in this study. The benefit of this study was to contribute to the data base for the MSI and to increase the awareness of stress and mastery.The research question was analyzed using the Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient. A small but significant correlation coefficient was found between the acceptance and the growth subscales of the Mastery of Stress Instrument (r=.33, p <.05). No other significant correlation were found.Rapid changes are occurring in the healthcare environment of today. Nurses are in the center of this change and must master the increased stress experienced. The author concluded that the oncology nurses in this sample have mastered the stress they experienced possibly due to the length of time in the oncology nursing speciality. Also, the high level of education in this sample of oncology nurses indicates that the oncology nurses are more efficient at the mastery of the stress they experience.<br>School of Nursing

Filkins, Carol R. "A study of the relationship between occupational stress and person-environment fit." Virtual Press, 1990. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/722448.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personenvironment fit (P-E fit) and occupational stress. All 31 employees of the University Police Department of Ball State University were invited to participate in the study on a voluntary basis, and were assured anonymity. Participants completed a demographic information sheet and three questionnaires: the Work Environment Scale, Ideal (WES-I) and Real (WES-R) versions, and the Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI). Twenty-two participants turned in completed test packets. Raw scores were calculated and graphed for individuals (OSI) and the entire group (WES). A correlation matrix with Pearson r as the correlation coefficient among the 14 OSI subscales and the 10 WES subscales was used to examine the relationship between P-E fit and occupational stress. Different patterns of occupational stress and work environment were found. The three job subgroups (police officers, radio dispatchers, and "other") exhibited different levels of occupational stress, with the most difference in the Physical Environment subscale. The group perceptions of the ideal and real work environments were different on every WES subscore, indicating employees wanted improvement in each area tested. Radio dispatchers were found to have the widest gap between their ideal and real work environments. There appeared to be no significant relation between occupational stress and P-E fit for this small sample. The results suggested an inverse relationship between a University police department employee's occupational stress and how well that employee fits the work environment for four variables: Role Insufficiency, Role Boundary, Vocational Strain, and Psychological Strain. Those who fit the work environment least scored highest on the Rational/Cognitive Coping variable, the only statistically significant correlation. It is possible the work environment may have such a powerful effect on personal life that it is unaffected by personal efforts to change it. Recognition of the different work environments and occupational stress levels could be useful in departmental planning. Further study is suggested.<br>Institute for Wellness

Full textAbstract:
Applying The Theory of Work Adjustment, the purpose of this study was to test the following hypotheses: (1) Higher levels of correspondence between vocational needs and work environment reinforcers will be associated with decreased severity of illness. In addition, personality flexibility will moderate these relationships such that higher levels of flexibility will attenuate the relationship between discorrespondence and illness. (2) Those individuals with greater tenure in an occupation where there is discorrespondence between work reinforcers will display more flexibility than those with similar degrees of discorrespondence and less tenure.Medical records were reviewed from 122 subjects from the Counseling Psychology section of the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Medical Center. Severity of illness was determined form these records. Occupational fit was measured through comparison of the individual's Minnesota Importance Questionnaire (Rounds, Henly, Dawis, Lofquist, & Weiss, 1981) profile and the reinforcers present in his/her primary occupation. Flexibility was measured by selected subscales from the Jackson Personality Inventory (Jackson, 1976) and a criterion variable and occupational fit, tenure, job satisfaction, and personality flexibility as predictor variables. Also, a hierarchial multiple regression technique was applied to test possible interaction effects between Flexibility and Fit.A brief self-report measure of flexibility was administered to a subsample and, although correlating in the expected direction, it was not significantly associated with Flexibility as measured by the JPI. Neither was it correlated with any of the other variables of interest in this study.The first hypothesis was not supported. Correspondence between vocational needs and work environment reinforcers was not associated with decreased severity of illness. There was no significant correlation between job satisfaction and occupational fit although there was a trend in the expected direction. It was found, however, that Flexibility, as measured by selected subscales from the JPI, was associated (p < .01) with a lesser severity of illness rating.There was not support for the second hypothesis. Tenure was not significantly associated with any of the variables of interest in this study. There was a trend, however, in the expected direction among tenure, job satisfaction and occupational fit. They all correlated positively.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>企業管理學系 國際企業經營管理(IMBA)<br>104<br>This study explored the relationships among job stress source, job stress, job burnout and leisure coping for personnel officers. The research subjects were the 2010-2016 year new personnel officers, the study took convenience sampling approach to survey and gather relevant information and collected 150 valid questionnaires which were performed data processing and statistical analysis by using SPSS statistical software package according to research purposes and hypotheses testing. By analyzing, it revealed that the main sources of stress for the personnel staff were work load and work supports, and the job stress had significant influence on the job burnout, and leisure coping had significant negative influence on job stress and job burnout. The results of this study can be provided as reference resources to the competent authorities of personnel staff and heads of the departments on the practical affairs.
The study found that the newcomers who can't adapt to their jobs properly would have job stress which would result in job stress, and both would cause negtive influence on physiology and psychology worsening their mood and lowering their will to the jobs. The recommended solutions are that in addition to putting the right people in the right place, the rationality of workload and job should be re-evaluated and the newcomers should get support on their jobs to adapt themselves to the new environment; moreover, promotion of free time activities can be performed to help newcomers deal with job stress and job burnout because leisure coping can help newcomers reduce them.

This study aims to find out the elements of job stress on Phuc Loc’s employees, as well as the motivation of employees working in Phuc Loc.
The research has solved the proposed hypotheses. The model of job satisfaction at Phuc Loc includes 04 independent factors (17 observed variables), and job satisfaction (20 observed variables). The data collected from 300 responses usable for analysis, first is to conduct descriptive analysis of observed variables. The results show that most employees at Phuc Loc underestimated job stress and are satisfied with the work they are doing. The next step is to examine the reliability Cronbach's Alpha of 04 factors are greater than 0.7. Factor Analysis EFA, the results are satisfied: KMO and eigenvalue are satisfied and the total variance explained is good. This is satisfied to build the linear regression analysis for the variables.
In the step 3, the study analyzed the linear regression model with the dependent variable job stress and 04 independent variables. The four variables explained 61.5% of the change in the independent variable. All p-values are less than 0.05 and the sign of all the values of the 4 independent variables are satisfied.

that job stress and job satisfaction are opposite relation,
organization climate and job satisfaction are positive relation.
According to this relationship, it is the same between private
industries and career military officers.2. There is an variance
for career military officers facing organization climate, job
stress and job satisfaction because of each individual''s job
attribution. For examples: a. Salary satisfaction: The college
level personnel has lower satisfaction than the non-college
level personnel. b. In a pleasant, motivated, stable, and
competitive organization climate, employees have higher
satisfaction in promotion, direct supervision and salaries.
c. Job stress: The management has lower job stress than the
non-management. d. Military rank: There is an obvious variance
in job satisfaction between Lieutenant and non-Lieutenant.
e. Years of services: There is and significant difference in
job stress and satisfaction between the person with 6-10
years of service and the person without 6-10 years of
service.3. On the whole, career military officers have very
high stability in nature, and there is not much variance in job
stress and job satisfaction in them. Only in military rank (
Lieutenant and non-Lieutenant) and years of services (6-10 years
of service) there are obvious variances in job stress and job
satisfaction. This is because of the very important connection
of the job attribution and the shorter career life. Compared to
private industry personnel, it is obviously different. Based on
above findings, hopefully, it is not only a helpful reference
for military human resources department to utilize man power,
but also it is a further study direction in future for military
human resources.

In comparison with other types of employees, the stress level of these forensic policemen appears far higher. Therefore, they need to adjust certain job characteristics accordingly in order to enhance their job devotion. The study aims to explore the dimensions of job characteristics, job stress level, and job characteristics using questionnaires and fundamental statistical tools. The types of data analyzed include gender, age, education, marital status, number of children, average daily working hours, job shifts, office function, and income. The results of the study are summarized as follows:
1. Appositive correlation was detected among the dimensions of job characteristics (e.g. variety, identity, significance, autonomy, and feed back), job stress level, and job in-volvement.
2. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, no significant difference exists be-tween the variables of gender, age, education, and marital staus. However, significant or highly significant differences were found between the variables of number of children, average daily working hours, job shifts, office function, and income.
3. Based on the results of a regression analysis, it was discovered that between the ele-ments of job stress level and job involvement, the regression was significant with the value of R (the deterministic coefficients), 0.2174. In this model, there exists a posi-tive correlation between the elements of job stress level and job involvement. This means that the higher the job stress level, the higher the job involvement.

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>工業工程與管理學系碩士在職專班<br>103<br>With the rapid changes of climate in recent years, comes more and more disasters. And there are different kinds of disasters that can be seen no matter domestically or internationally, which also cause massive injuries and casualties. Rescue operations of firefighters have become much more complex and diverse, in which it explains that fire and rescue operations make some big changes as the times go by. As the increasing workload and changes of job characteristics in firefighters, all of which cause them an increasing amount of pressure, thus effecting firefighters’ work values and job satisfaction. In this case, we can conclude there are very close correlations among job characteristics, work pressure, and job values. If the authorities concerned could enhance firefighters’ job satisfaction at work, it may also help improve the efficiency of disaster prevention and rescue.
This research uses questionnaire survey, in which respondents are firefighters of Yunlin Fire Bureau, to look into their job satisfaction affected respectively by job characteristics, job stress and work values. The result indicates firefighters from varying backgrounds have part of prominent diversities in the perspective on job characteristics, job stress and work values. Besides, job characteristics and work values have positive effects upon job satisfaction whereas job stress shows negative. This can be explained as follows: First of all, there are subsidiary factors, such as “the importance of work”, “the feedback from work”, and “the appropriateness of workload”, that have prominent impact on job characteristics, in which the factor“ feedback from work” affects most. Secondly, among subsidiary factors of job stress there’s “workload” that has positive correlation. That is to say, the heavier the workload is, the lower the job satisfaction would be. Thirdly, among subsidiary factors of work values there are “internal work values” and “external work values” that have positive effect, in which the “internal work values” affects most.

After removing the invalid questionnaires, 387 valid samples remain. We then used SPSS and AMOS software for data analysis. In this study, the latent variable composition of the dimensions of reliability (CR) and the Cronbach α values are above 0.7, reaching a level of significance. The upper and lower limits of the bootstrap discriminant validity confidence interval did not include 1. Therefore, this study has good reliability and validity. In terms of overall fitness, = 1.736, RMSEA = 0.045, GFI = 0.922, AGFI = 0.903, NFI = 0.944, IFI = 0.976, CFI = 0.975, so that the model has good fitness. The Institute concluded the following:
1. The path analysis of job stress and job performance shows that the median value of job satisfaction is significant. The overall results show positive significance. Therefore, in order to effectively improve police officers’ job performance, the police department must take notice of officers’ job satisfaction, in addition to job stress.
2. In the path analysis of personal traits and job performance behavior, the mediation effect of job satisfaction has reached a significant level. The overall direct effect shows positive significant level. So, the police department should pay more attention to not only the personal traits, but also the job satisfaction of the officers. Consequently, they can effectively enhance police officers’ job performance.
3. In this study, our evaluation of multi-group analysis didn't attain a significant level, so we know job performance will not be affected by gender, age, educational attainment, marital status, job seniority, position title or nature of work.
4. The potential variables in this model include job stress, personal traits, job satisfaction and job performance. Our study has effectively and comprehensively analyzed the impact of police officers’ job stress on job performance, and is a contribution to the academia.

Full textAbstract:
Firefighters providing emergency services to the public are involved with some of the most tragic aspects of the boundary between life and death, often in a context over which they have little or no control. The outcome of this may be that stress at work and at home are without doubt the reason that highly qualified and loyal firefighters give themselves over to alcohol or drug abuse, extramarital relationships and suicidal thoughts. The general aim of the research is to evaluate job and family stress amongst firefighters in the South African context, and to use the results in developing a developmental/counselling programme for firefighters and their families.
The research is quantitative and qualitative, consisting of a survey design and a phenomenological design. Three measuring instruments were used, namely the Biographical questionnaire, the Experience of Work and Life Circumstances questionnaire, and the Stress questionnaire. Task characteristics, organisational functioning, physical working conditions and job equipment, career and social matters, remuneration, fringe benefits and personnel policy were identified as causes of job stress originating within the work situation.
Interviews were conducted to determine how these firefighters experience job and family stress. Marital dysfunction and divorce, limited time with the family, problems with children, alcohol and drug abuse, lack of exercise, suicide, anger aimed at family members, physical and emotional exhaustion, lonely marital partners, unavailability to help the family when needed and depression were identified as causes of family stress arising outside the work situation.
The main recommendation is to implement a developmental/counselling job and family stress programme. The programme can be instituted to enhance the wellness and psychological health of firefighters and their families, or for counselling of firefighters and their families who are experiencing job and/or family stress. The multi-dimensionality and flexibility make this programme unique and one of its kind in the South African context.<br>Indust & Org Psychology<br>DLITT ET PHIL (IND & ORG PS)

Full textAbstract:
The difficulties new nurses experience when first entering acute care work environments have been recognized since Kramer’s seminal work in the 1970s. Despite the implementation of interventions designed to help ease the transition, the literature continues to report that new graduates undergo stress when beginning their careers as nurses. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived demands, control, social support and self-efficacy on the job stress, job satisfaction and intention to leave of new nurses.
The conceptual framework used in the study was Karasek’s (1979) Job Demands-Control-Support (JDC-S) model. This model posits that job demands increase employee stress, but that increasing control can alleviate the negative effects of high demands. Social support and self-efficacy were included in this study as potential moderators of the relationships between demands and control and the outcome variables. This was an exploratory study that utilized a cross-sectional survey was used to gather data. Surveys were mailed to the homes of new nurses working in acute care hospitals across Ontario, Canada.
Data were received from 232 new nurses, a response rate of 23.8%. Nurses in the sample had an average of 18.2 months of experience. Data were analyzed using separate hierarchical regression models for each dependent variable. The results showed that the main effects of job demands, social support and self-efficacy provided partial support for the JDC-S model when examining job stress, job satisfaction and intention to leave the job. Only self-efficacy was significantly related to intention to leave the profession. There was no evidence of moderating effects of social support or self-efficacy. An understanding of factors in the work environment that influence new nurses may assist in supporting them during the transition. By exploring the effects of demands, control, social support and self-efficacy on new graduates’ job stress, job satisfaction and intention to leave, this study may provide direction to nursing leaders who are working new nurses in acute care.
