“…1 Thus employees working in the above sociological context of working life are expected to be affected by the general acceleration of the pace of life, contributing to work intensification, constant time pressure, multitasking and the need to learn new things just to maintain the status quo. 2 In addition to these structural and long-term changes, the uncertain economic crisis places increasing pressure on both employers and workers to remain competitive. Many of these changes provide opportunities for development; nevertheless, when poorly managed, they pose increasing risks for psychosocial disorders and result in negative health and safety outcomes.…”

Background: India's Garment Industry has been rapidly growing in last few years. The Garment Industry is of major importance to the Indian economy as it contributes substantially to India's export earnings. Thus employees working in the above sociological context of working life are expected to be affected by the general acceleration of the pace of life, contributing to work intensification and constant time pressure. Managers play a key role in reducing the significant sources of stress and shaping the future of employees. Thus the above study was undertaken among managers and supervisory level staff. The objectives of the study were to estimate the magnitude and level of work-related stress and to find the association of socio-demographic factors with work-related stress in garment manufacturing factory. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken for 4 months, from October 2015 to January 2016, in a selected garment factory, located in the periphery of Bangalore city. A total of 167 supervisors and 41 managers, were included in the study. Stress was assessed by using ‘Tool to assess and classify work stress and associated symptoms’, developed by Centre for public health, NIMHANS. Results: Prevalence of work-related stress was 26% (95% CI; 18.04-26.36). Managers had higher prevalence of stress (29.3%) when compared to supervisors (25.1%). Majority of managers were perceived to have moderate stress level (58.4%) when compared to supervisors (26.10%). Among all the socio-demographic factors; age, total monthly income, travel time and mode of transport were significantly associated with work-related stress (p<0.05). Conclusions: Organization changes viz., effort-reward imbalances, needs to be corrected and appropriate transport facilities meeting the employee requirements have to be provided, to cope up stress associated with travelling.

“…Essa é uma realidade muito presente no dia a dia dos policiais mais novos e/ou dos que estão há pouco tempo na corporação, que gostam do estresse e dizem que é uma das fontes de ânimo para fazer seu trabalho. Enquanto isso, os policiais com mais idade e/ou certo tempo de corporação consideram isso ruim e relacionam o estresse sofrido no trabalho aos problemas de saúde e às dificuldades de se relacionar dentro e fora do trabalho 3,8,[18][19][20] .…”

This study aimed at identifying the most common stress generating factors among military police officers, according to scientific literature. It is a systematic review conducted through the PRISMA method, in the databanks: Pubmed, Scielo and BVS, using the descriptors"Military Police" AND "Polícia militar" OR "Occupational Hazard" AND "Risco ocupacional" OR "Occupational stress" AND "Estresse ocupacional", conducted in April 2015. 4,490 researchers were found, from which 4,424 were excluded after the title was read, as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. From these 66 studies, 17 were discarded due to duplicated results, and 49 were left. During the reading of the abstracts, 16 other workers were excluded because they were not completely available online. Therefore, 17 studies were left, and 07 were excluded due to the eligibility criteria. Women are the most affected by the stress at the Military Police work. In issues regarding age or time on the service, the younger or those with less time in the profession suffer less from stress-related problems at work. The high level of violence to which they are exposed is another possible influence in the high levels of stress in the studies surveyed.

Se trata de una revisión sistemática por el método PRISMA, realizada a través de las bases de datos Pubmed, Scielo y BVS, utilizando los descriptores "Military Police" y "Polícia Militar" u "Occupational hazard" y "Risco ocupacional" u "Occupational stress" y "Estresse ocupacional", realizado en abril de 2015. Se identificaron 4.490 trabajos, de los cuales 4.424 fueron excluidos después de la lectura del título, por no ser elegibles. De los 66 estudios, 17 fueron descartados por ser duplicados, restando 49 artículos. En la lectura de los resúmenes, fueron excluidos 16, que no estaban disponibles online de forma completa. Así, restaron 17 estudios, con exclusión de 7 por criterios de elegibilidad. Las mujeres son más afectadas por el estrés en el trabajo en la Policía Militar. En las cuestiones referentes a la edad o al tiempo de trabajo, los más jóvenes o con menos tiempo de profesión son los que menos sufren con los problemas relacionados al estrés del trabajo. La elevada carga de violencia a la cual son expuestos es otro posible inductor de los altos índices en los estudios levantados.

High-Performance HR Practices, Work Stress and Quit Intentions in the Public Health Sector: Does person–organization fit matter?

Drawing on the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) framework, this paper examines a mechanism, namely person-organization (P-O) fit, through which high performance HR practices (HPHRP) affect two negative employee outcomes: work-related stress and quit intentions. Using a sample of Egyptian public health sector workers, a mediation model is tested empirically using structural equation modelling. The study results show that HPHRP positively affected P-O fit, which in turn had significant negative associations with work stress and quit intentions. P-O fit also explained a high proportion of mediation in the relationship between HPHRP and both outcomes.
