“…The general aim of this study is therefore to better understand the relationship existing between multiple dimensions of psychosocial work stressors and male sexual function. It used the Management Standards approach of the U.K. Health and Safety Executive, which is one of the most advanced methods for the screening of work-related stress ( Edwards, Webster, Van Laar, & Easton, 2008 ; Marcatto, Colautti, Larese Filon, Luis, & Ferrante, 2014 ). The approach assesses the following seven psychosocial risks, which have the potential to lead to stress-related negative outcomes: demands, control, supervisor and peer support, relationships, change, and role.…”

Role of Psychosocial Job Stressors on Sexual Function of Male Nurses: The Mediator Role of Work Ability

There is limited information on the specific psychosocial risks at work that can impact sexual function. The general aim of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple dimensions of psychosocial work stressors on the male sexual function. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 153 male nurses working in two hospitals in Iran. Sexual function and psychosocial job stressors were measured using the Persian version of the International Index of Erectile Function (P-IIEF) and the Persian version of the Health and Safety Executive (P-HSE) Management Standards Indicator Tool. The Persian version of the Work Ability Index (P-WAI) was used to assess the mediating effect of work ability on the relationship between overall stress and subscales of sexual function. The data were analyzed using Pearson product–moment correlation, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple linear regressions. The subscales of psychosocial job stressors, especially the subscale of role, had a significant correlation with several domains of sexual function. The regression modeling indicated that the subscales of role and job demands were significant predictors of various domains of sexual function. The effect of overall stress on intercourse satisfaction was fully mediated by WAI. In the other indicators of sexual function, overall stress score had only a significant direct effect, not mediated by WAI. Intervention programs to improve sexual function should focus on increasing nurses’ involvement in making decisions related to jobs and on using ergonomic principles related to balancing job demands and the level of nurses’ capabilities.

Introduction: the aim of the study is to evaluate work-related subjective stress in a group of employees, of both sexes, operating in the healthcare and welfare, through the administration of a questionnaire (HSE "Indicator Tool"), specifically developed and officially validated, and to analyze any possible correlations between stress levels taken from the questionnaire scores and the concentrations of three main hepatic parameters (GOT, GPT, GGT). Materials and methods: we studied a final sample of 232 subjects (143 males and 89 females) operating in the health and welfare sector. For research purposes during the medical examination each subject underwent the HSE indicator tool, a collection of information about relevant clinical and medical history and a venous blood sample for the assay of GOT, GPT and GGT. All questionnaires were analyzed using special software provided by the HSE. The results obtained from the questionnaires were statistically compared with the blood concentrations of hepatic parameters. Results: the dimensions found to be critical, associated with a stressful condition (yellow area) or a highly stressful condition (red area), are: managers support, colleagues support, quality of relationships and changes. The Pearson's correlation showed a statistically significant negative correlation (p <0.05) between the mean values of all the critical dimensions and the concentrations of the hepatic parameters, both on the total sample and after subdivision by gender. These results were confirmed in the multiple linear regression analysis, which indicated that the critical dimensions are the main significant variables contributing to the liver parameters alterations. Discussion: preliminary results indicate that a critical perception of stress at work can be statistically associated with increases in mean concentrations of GOT, GPT and GGT in a working asymptomatic population. These results provide a starting point for future studies on this topic, to a greater definition of the link between stress and liver injury, to confirm the effects on the parameters of liver injury (GOT, GPT, GGT) and to investigate possible correlations with the cholestasis parameters (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) and serum albumin.

The fast-food industry is one of the booming industries in Pakistan with rapidly developing human resources. However, quick growth has become impeded by numerous human resource management challenges. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors/variables that cause stress among employees in the workplace which consequently affect their performance. Pakistan’s fast-food sector has been taken into account and a comprehensive study has been carried out to find out which variables result in employee stress and affect their overall job performance. Primary data was collected through three hundred and fifty questionnaires disseminated throughout various areas of Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad including Emporium Mall, Packages Mall and Dolmen Mall, Lucky One Mall, Centaurus, and key areas popular for fast-food in those cities. Several statistical tools including; Reliability and Validity Analysis, Factor Analysis, Regression analysis, KMO, Cronbach Alpha and the Bartlett Test, are used for data analysis on SPSS and Smart PLS. Results of the analysis show that Work Overload, Job Insecurity (independent variable) and Employee Stress (mediating variable) have a significant impact on Employee Performance (dependent variable). The relationship of Job Security and Work Overload with Employee Stress is positive. Similarly, the relationship between Employee Stress and Employee Performance is also positive and significant. The study described in this paper thoroughly focuses on all the major causes of employee’s stress and its impact on employee performance, it also suggests how Fast-food sector of Pakistan should consider these factors in order to address these issues and provide favorable workplace environment.

The HSE Management Standards Indicator Tool: concurrent and construct validity

Abstract: Our findings consolidated the HSE-MS IT validity and showed the specific sensitivity of its scales to assess different aspects of work-related distress, including self-perception of stress at work. These results can have practical implications for the occupational well-being of employees.
