Relationships between occupational functioning and stress among radio journalists – Assessment by means of the psychosocial risk scale

Abstract

Well-known relationships between stress level, satisfaction and occupational functioning were confirmed. The most important conclusion refers to the fact that psychosocial risks and stress analysis should be based on the understanding of specificity of each occupation or even position. It is so, because the same job characteristic may pose a challenge for one person, while for another--it can result in extreme discomfort and anxiety--such an attitude broadens understanding of the phenomenon. We also confirmed that the PRS is a well-designed method, appropriate to investigate an individual perception of job environment and its stressfulness. Future research on causal relationships between the variables is recommended.

Mental health problem or workplace problem or something else: what contributes to work perception?

“…Inter-correlations between JATS dimensions (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) are ranging from r = .179 to r = .555, with 7 out of 15 being <.400 (Table 2). There is no multicollinearity problem between the predictors (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), or between predictors and dependent variables (JATS dimensions).…”

Study protocol of EMPOWER: A cluster randomized trial of a multimodal eHealth intervention for promoting mental health in the workplace following a stepped wedge trial design

“…Through the app, employees will answer the minipsychosocial stressors at work scale (Mini-PSWS), a reduced version of the psychosocial stressors at work scale. 46 This screening tool contains 16 items and it is conceptually grounded in the typology of workplace stressors developed by the European Framework for Psychosocial Risks Management PRIMA-EF 47 and supported by a large body of research which showed direct relationships between workplace stress and burnout, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, somatization, chronic fatigue, psychotropic drugs consumption and many others conditions. 48,49 Employees will receive through the app a detailed and tailored report with recommendations based on their responses to the Mini-PSWS.…”
