“…Similar to that found on petrochemical industry workers in Korea (Eum et al, 2006) and in Chinese health care workers (Li, Yang, & Cheng, 2005). The results confirmed the hypothesis of Li et al (2005) who point out that there are cultural variations in the perception of stressful experience in the work.…”

This study examined the psychometric properties of the short version of the ERI (Effort-Reward Imbalance) questionnaire with a total of 395 high school teachers (50.1% male, 49.9% female). The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained by an analysis of internal consistency, the validity of the instrument by Exploratory In conclusion the shorter version of ERI questionnaire has acceptable psychometric properties in this teacher's population.

“…Job stress, as the main psychological work-related disease in China, might lead to poor health and even injury, including cardiovascular diseases [9], MSDs [10], and mental illness [11]. A study in Chinese working women revealed that the combined exposure to job and family stress was associated with an adjusted mean 6.4 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure [12].…”

Objective This study aimed to summarize the major health problems among Chinese workers, the strategies and measures for occupational hazards control, the network and organizations of occupational health administration, and the achievements and current challenges of occupational health in China. Results The situation of occupational health was found to be still serious in China. Enterprises with occupational hazards were widely distributed, the exposed population and cases of occupational diseases were numerous, and occupational risks were being transferred from the city to the countryside and from developed areas to developing ones. New emerging problems coexisted with traditional occupational hazards. Besides, a lack of occupational health services for migrant workers could be a major problem for a long time. Conclusions It is necessary to improve the fields related to occupational health, such as the supervision and administration of small-and medium-scale enterprises, research into key techniques for the prevention and control of occupational hazards, systems for the diagnosis and reporting of occupational diseases, and the training of health professionals.

“…Such findings would underline the evolutionary old 'grammar' of social exchange that may be rooted in distinct structures of the human brain (Cosmides and Tooby, 1992). Currently, a number of findings from observational studies confirm that effortreward imbalance at work is associated with elevated risks of stress-related disorders in Japanese (Tsutsumi et al, 2001), Chinese (Xu et al, 2004;Li et al, 2005), South Korean (Eum et al, 2007), Thay (Buapetch et al, 2008) and Brazilian (Chor et al, 2007) working populations, thus lending support to the idea that the experience of unfair exchange results in negative emotions and adverse well-being cross-culturally in similar ways. This discovery is of interest in view of the process of economic globalisation and associated trans-national labour market mobility.…”

In this contribution it is argued that the analysis of exchange characteristics of core social roles in adult life offers a promising approach towards studying the social bases of stress-related diseases. More specifically, the theoretical model of effort-reward imbalance claims that the violation of a core principle of social exchange, reciprocity, elicits sustained stress reactions with adverse long-term effects on health. This model has been extensively tested with regard to the work role, and a brief review of empirical evidence is given, based on findings from prospective epidemiological studies. Taken together, results demonstrate that the risk of incident stress-related disease, such as coronary heart disease or depression, is about twice as high in men and women scoring high on effort-reward imbalance at work compared to non-exposed people. Finally, recent extensions of the theoretical model beyond the work role and beyond health as the main study outcome are discussed, illustrating the utility of this concept for general sociology.

Abstract: These findings contribute to the validity and reliability of the Korean ERI questionnaire. Importantly, in the context of a rapid change in the labour market, the lack of reciprocity between efforts and rewards at work is strongly associated with self-rated physical and mental health.
