“…Effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work [40] measures effort based on six items and reward based on 11 items. The effort scores range from 5 to 20 for white-collar, and between 6 and 24 for blue-collar occupations, with high scores indicating high effort.…”

Objectives: The study aims to identify individual and workplace factors associated with early return to work [RTW] -defined as within 3 months -and factors associated with later RTW -between 3 and 12 months after being sick-listed -in a cohort of newly sick-listed individuals with common mental disorders.Methods: In a prospective cohort study, a cross-sectional analysis was performed on baseline measures of patients granted sick leave due to common mental disorders. A total of 533 newly sicklisted individuals fulfilled the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate. A baseline questionnaire was sent by post within three weeks of their first day of certified medical sickness; 354 (66%) responded. Those who were unemployed were excluded, resulting in a study population of 319 individuals. Sick leave was recorded for each individual from the Social Insurance Office during one year. Analyses were made with multiple Cox regression analyses.Results: Early RTW was associated with lower education, better work ability at baseline, positive expectations of treatment and low perceived interactional justice with the supervisor. RTW after three months was associated with a need to reduce demands at work, and turnover intentions.Conclusions: Early RTW among sick-listed individuals with common mental disorders seems to be associated with the individual's need to secure her/his employment situation, whereas later RTW is associated with variables reflecting dissatisfaction with work conditions. No health measures were associated with RTW. The study highlights the importance of considering not only health and functioning, but also workplace conditions and relations at the workplace in implementing RTW interventions.

“…21 The effort relates to the demands and obligations perceived by workers; the reward is composed of fi nancial recompense (adequate salary), self-esteem (respect and support from colleagues and superiors) and occupational status (promotion prospects, employment stability and social status). 23 Just as in the DC model, a third dimension was incorporated into the original model: excess commitment to work. This is considered to be a dimension intrinsic to the worker, expressed through excessive endeavor at work combined with a strong desire for approval and esteem.…”

OBJECTIVE:To identify combinations of two models of psychosocial stress at work among nursing teams and their associations with self-rated health. METHODS:This was a cross-sectional study among workers at three public hospitals in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil (N = 1307). In 2006, a multidimensional questionnaire including two scales for measuring stress at work (demand-control and effort-reward imbalance models) was administered. Partial and complete (including social support at work) demand-control models were considered, along with partial and complete (including excessive commitment to work) effort-reward models. Multiple logistic regression models were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios and their respective 95% confi dence intervals. RESULTS:The dimensions of both models were independently associated with self-rated health, with odds ratios between 1.70 and 3.37. The partial demandcontrol model was less associated with health (OR = 1.79; 95%CI 1.26;2.53) than was the partial effort-reward imbalance model (OR = 2.27; 95%CI 1.57;3.30). Incorporation of social support and excessive commitment to work increased the strength of the demand-control and effort-reward imbalance models, respectively. Increased strength of association was observed when the two partial models were combined. CONCLUSIONS:The results indicate that the effort-reward imbalance model performed better for this specifi c group and for the outcome evaluated, and that there was an advantage in using complete models or combinations of partial models.

“…Entre 2012 y 2013 se aplicó una encuesta autoadministrada (formato lápiz-papel), que incluyó dos escalas de riesgo psicosocial laboral: el cuestionario de Contenido de Trabajo (JCQ) que considera las variables demandas psicológicas, latitud decisional y soporte social, en su versión canadiense modificada para el contexto chileno con 16 ítems 25 ; y la versión breve en español de la Escala de Desbalance Esfuerzo-Recompensa (ERI test 10 ítems) 26 , que considera esfuerzos, recompensas y desbalance. Ambos instrumentos fueron validados para Chile, en un estudio de validación con una muestra nacional, aleatoria y representativa de trabajadores chilenos 27 .…”

They also reported a low level of decisional latitude (48%), high emotional demands (47%), low social support (41%) and a significant effort-reward imbalance (67%). Those exposed to job strain (high demands and low decisional latitude), iso-strain (job strain plus low social support), and effort-reward imbalance were twice as likely to suffer symptoms of depression and elevated distress compared to non-exposed subjects. Conclusions: There are high levels of psychosocial stress among health care workers. (Rev Med Chile 2015; 143: 47-55)
