“…The JD-R framework suggests that employees could experience burnout when they lack adequate resources (Demerouti et al, 2001); in the case of migrant workers, this could relate to their negative well-being caused by the work environment. Other studies have also revealed the link between discrimination, high occupational stress (Sellers et al, 2003;Smith et al, 2005), and lower well-being (Bulic, 2005). While this finding is an understudied topic in Australia and there is a dearth of research on this relationship, it is clear that diverse workers' well-being and health will be impacted by the experience of their job characteristics (Mark & Smith, 2008).…”

Research on workplace discrimination and its effects among migrant workers in Australia is limited. This study examined perceived ethnic discrimination in the workplace, levels of occupational stress, and general well‐being across Australian migrant and nonmigrant workers with a nationally representative sample of 344 Australian migrant (32%) and nonmigrant (68%) workers. Results showed that migrant workers had higher scores on perceived discrimination and occupational stress, and lower scores on personal well‐being. These findings highlight the need to understand the experiences, risks, and needs of culturally diverse workers in Australia to improve their well‐being and provide them with culturally relevant support.
