An experimental examination of the effort-reward imbalance model of occupational stress: Increased financial reward is related to reduced stress physiology

Work Stress and Altered Biomarkers: A Synthesis of Findings Based on the Effort–Reward Imbalance Model

“…In the Mannheim study on industrial workers, ERI was indirectly associated with glycemic measures mediated by HRV [ 57 ]. Remarkably, the findings of the two experimental studies confirmed this negative association [ 31 , 58 ], thus supporting the hypothesis that chronic experience of stressful work has a dysregulatory effect on ANS balance.…”

“…When ERI was measured by event momentary assessment in a group of 100 nurses, a significant association with HR was observed [ 30 ]. In a within-group experimental design with a reward vs. standard condition in 60 women in Australia, significantly smaller increases in HR following a challenging task in the reward vs. standard condition were observed [ 31 ]. It is of interest to know that one of the earliest experimental studies on ERI and HR was conducted in a group of middle-aged industrial middle managers with high, medium, and low chronic work stress.…”

“…In line with the notion of compromised sympathetic responsiveness, another study of 58 healthy men found that noradrenaline secretion in response to a standardized social stress test was significantly reduced among those scoring high on over-commitment [ 43 ]. Another biomarker of enhanced SAM activity—salivary alpha amylase (sAA)—was analysed in the Australian within-group experiment mentioned, and this response was significantly reduced in the “reward” vs. standard condition [ 31 ]. However, given the paucity of findings, no firm conclusion can be drawn.…”

Impacto da cultura organizacional no desequilíbrio entre esforço-recompensa no trabalho em uma universidade pública federal

“…Para a análise do risco para estresse ocupacional, foi utilizado o modelo teórico-metodológico denominado Desequilíbrio entre Esforço-Recompensa no Trabalho (Effort-Reward Imbalance -ERI), de Siegrist (1996), selecionado por avaliar o risco psicossocial no trabalho e apresentar boa evidência epidemiológica na análise da saúde mental laboral (Ansoleaga, 2015;Griep, Rotenberg, Landsbergis & Vasconcellos-Silva, 2011;). O modelo ERI pressupõe que as experiências cronicamente estressantes são decorrentes de desequilíbrio entre alto esforço (pressões no trabalho) e baixa recompensa (salário, segurança e reconhecimento), somados a alto nível pessoal de supercomprometimento no trabalho (Herr et al, 2017;Landolt, O'Donnell, Hazi, Dragano & Wright, 2017). O modelo também postula que a falta de reciprocidade entre os esforços empreendidos e os retornos obtidos em seu trabalho pode levar os trabalhadores a reações associadas de tensão, com efeitos adversos de longo prazo à saúde (Silva & Barreto, 2010;Griep et al, 2011).…”

“…Por ello, el reconocimiento por dicho esfuerzo p.ej. con programas de incentivos, beneficios en cuanto a días libres y vacaciones etc., podría constituir una estrategia de prevención efectiva, eficiente y de fácil implementación contra posibles problemas de salud mental en trabajadores (Brooks et al, 2018;Kobayashi, Kaneyoshi, Yokota, & Kawakami, 2008;Lamy et al, 2013;Landolt, O'Donnell, Hazi, Dragano, & Wright, 2017;Niedhammer, Chastang, David, Barouhiel, & Barrandon, 2006;Niedhammer, Lesuffleur, Coutrot, & Chastang, 2016).…”
