“…They also represent quite different public strategies for enforcement of psychosocial work environment regulation with a focus on enforcement. The cases are 1) inspection of psychosocial risks in Denmark (Rasmussen et al, 2011;Starheim & Rasmussen, 2014), and 2) the more voluntary approach to management standards in the UK (Leka et al, 2011;Mellor et al, 2011).…”

“…One example of the development of a traditional enforcement strategy in order to cover psychosocial risks is provided by the Danish Working Environment Authority (Eurofound, 2014;Rasmussen et al, 2011;Starheim & Rasmussen, 2014). In 1995, the Working Environment Authority and the social partners concluded a political agreement that enforcement of regulation of psychosocial risks should be restricted only to those risks related to the individual's job function, whereas risks related to implementation of management strategies and the employers' prerogatives are not included and thereby not regulated.…”

“…Regulation of psychosocial risks using the traditional instruments has been difficult because of difficulties in specifying standards and in enforcing these via inspection Rasmussen et al, 2011). The same kinds of difficulties occur with the setting of management standards and subsequent related audits of OHSM systems .…”

Bevezetés: Nemzetközi és hazai kutatások egyaránt igazolják, hogy a pszichoszociális stressz mentális megbetegedések kockázati tényezője. Célkitűzés: Jelen tanulmány célja az Országos Munkahelyi Stresszfelmérés előzetes eredményei-nek feldolgozása a depressziós tünetegyüttes és a stresszterhelés kapcsolatának vonatkozásában. Módszer: Keresztmetszeti kérdőíves vizsgálat magyar munkavállalók körében (n = 1058, 27,5% férfi , 72,5% nő, átlagéletkor 37,2 év, SD = 11). A pszichoszociális tényezőket a COPSOQ II (Koppenhágai Kérdőív a Munkahelyi Pszichoszociális Ténye-zőkről II), míg a depressziós tünetegyüttest a rövidített Beck Depresszió Kérdőívvel mértük fel. A pszichoszociális tényezők és a depresszió kapcsolatát korrelációval, illetve bináris logisztikus regresszió analízissel vizsgáltuk. Eredmé-nyek: A minta negyede közepesen súlyos vagy súlyos depressziós tünetekről számolt be. Az eredmények igazolják a depressziós tünetegyüttes (BDI≥19) összefüggését a munka-család konfl iktussal (OR = 2,21, CI: 1,82-2,68), a fejlődési lehetőségekkel (OR = 0,76, CI: 0,59-0,97), a munka értelmességével (OR = 0,69, CI: 0,59-0,89) és a munkahely iránti elkötelezettséggel (OR = 0,60, CI: 0,47-0,78). Következtetések: A munkavállalók mentális egészségé-nek védelme szempontjából az eredmények felvetik olyan szervezeti szintű intézkedések szükségességét, amelyek lehetővé teszik a pszichoszociális stressz csökkentését.

Aim: The present study aims at processing the preliminary results of the Hungarian Survey of Work Stress, concerning the relationship between depressive symptoms and work stress. Methods: Cross-sectional survey among Hungarian workers was carried out (n = 1058, 27.5% man, 72.5% woman, age 37.2 years, SD = 11 years). Psychosocial factors were measured using the COPSOQ II questionnaire, while BDI-9 was used for the assessment of depressive symptoms. Statistical analysis was carried out applying Spearman's correlation and logistic regression. Results: A quarter of the workers reported moderate or severe symptoms of depression (BDI≥19). The study confi rmed the association between depressive symptoms and work-family confl ict (OR = 2.21, CI: 1.82-2.68), possibilities for development (OR = 0.76,

Background Bullying has been identified as one of the leading workplace stressors, with adverse consequences for the individual employee, groups of employees, and whole organisations. Employees who have been bullied have lower levels of job satisfaction, higher levels of anxiety and depression, and are more likely to leave their place of work. Organisations face increased risk of skill depletion and absenteeism, leading to loss of profit, potential legal fees, and tribunal cases. It is unclear to what extent these risks can be addressed through interventions to prevent bullying. Objectives To explore the effectiveness of workplace interventions to prevent bullying in the workplace.
