“…The variation of the perceived stress levels in different occupational groups can be linked to variations in job characteristics, such as job demand, job control and job strain (Dėdelė et al, 2019). Workers are exposed to occupational stress that can be caused by various factors, such as competition among employees, long working hours, perfectionism and issues with co-workers or managers (Oliveira et al, 2023). The present study also explored the association between the mean PSS score and sociodemographic characteristics, including gender, age, education, neighborhood and household income.…”

The feelings and beliefs encompassing an individual's assessment of their current or past stress levels are referred to as perceived stress. This phenomenon is common due to the high demands of contemporary responsibilities. This study delves into perceived stress experienced by staff in public universities, a segment prone to similar pressures. Reports in the media frequently highlight such stress among Malaysian public sector employees. The complex challenges faced by public sector staff require thorough resolution for effective job performance. Focusing on this, the article investigates perceived stress within the context of Malaysian public university staff. Through an online survey involving 72 university staff, we employed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to gauge the extent of perceived stress. The findings reveal that all staff members encountered moderate levels of perceived stress. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of perceived stress dynamics among Malaysian public university staff, inviting further exploration into effective stress management strategies.

“…To illustrate, based on the demand-control model, it is argued that high job demand and low job control/support increase occupational stress (Karasek and Theorell, 1990). According to De Almeida Oliveira et al (2023), occupational stress can stem from the overwhelming increase in duties and responsibilities, often accompanied by insufficient time to fulfill them. Additionally, it may arise from the cumulative demands placed on employees without corresponding rewards or recognition for their performance.…”

Employees may experience stress in the workplace for various reasons. Psychological strengths may help them to cope with emerging challenges and foster mental health and work productivity. This study examined the mediating roles of meaning in life and psychological flexibility in the relationships between perceived occupational stress and job satisfaction, job performance and psychological distress. This cross-section study included 554 teachers (56.0% males; Mage = 36.99 ± 7.88 years) at all school levels in Türkiye. The research data was collected through a convenience sampling method using an online survey. Participants completed self-report measures of meaning in life, psychological flexibility, perceived occupational stress, job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Pearson product–moment correlation and parallel mediation model using PROCESS macro (Model 4) were utilized to analyze the data. The results showed that perceived occupational stress had a significant effect on meaning in life, psychological flexibility, job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Also, meaning in life and psychological flexibility had significant effects on job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Furthermore, meaning in life and psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationships between occupational stress and job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. These findings highlight the significance of considering meaning in life and psychological flexibility as crucial factors in mitigating the impact of occupational stress on employee mental health and work productivity. By focusing on enhancing employees’ sense of meaning and their ability to adapt flexibly to workplace challenges, organizations can potentially create a better environment that fosters positive outcomes for both employees and the organization. However, the impact of occupational stress on job performance, job satisfaction and psychological distress may change over time. To address this concern, future research should test the model through a longitudinal study design.

This paper introduces a recommendation system aimed at enhancing the sustainable process of risk management within airport operations, with a special focus on Occupational Stress Risks (OSRs). The recommendation system is implemented via a flexible Python code that offers seamless integration into various operational contexts. It leverages Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) to conduct comprehensive risk assessments, subsequently generating prioritized recommendations for predefined risk management measures aimed at preventing and/or reducing the most critical OSRs. The system’s reliability has been validated by iterating the procedure with diverse input data (i.e., matrices of varying sizes) and measures. This confirms the system’s effectiveness across a broad spectrum of engineering scenarios.
