“…Job satisfaction was measured using Warr's Job Satisfaction Scale (10,11), while life satisfaction-as an indicator of quality of life-was investigated by using the Greek translation of the Life Satisfaction Inventory by Fountoulakis et al (12,13). Four components of the JobsDemands Model were investigated-workload, homework conflicts, autonomy and support by colleagues-as indicative of work conditions (14)(15)(16).…”

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the levels of burnout among Greek residents, highlighting potential differences between those practicing at home and abroad, as well as to investigate correlations with demographic, individual and labor factors. Methods:The research was conducted on a sample of 131 residents, using an anonymous questionnaire which included demographic, individual and labor characteristics, Maslach's Burnout Inventory, questions regarding job and life satisfaction levels, working conditions and the impacts of the economic recession.Results: Fifty two point seven percent of the sample were training in the Greek National Health Service (N.H.S.), 27.5% in Germany and 19.8% in the United Kingdom. One out of three residents in the Greek system showed high levels of burnout in all three dimensions of the syndrome, while 51.1%, 72.2% and 30.8% of the Greek, British and German team, respectively, appeared burnt out simultaneously in two dimensions. Levels of job and life satisfactions ranged on average, while workload appeared heavy. Conclusions:The occurrence of burnout was associated with gender, specialty, employment characteristics (working hours, autonomy, support etc.), proneness to accidents, country, job satisfaction and quality of life, but was not associated with age or marital status. No correlation was found with susceptibility to medical errors.

“…(1=never, 5=always). Work-Family Conflict was assessed with three items that are a selection of the Dutch questionnaire Survey Work-home Interference NijmeGen (SWING) 48) . The authors of the scale generated an item-pool derived from 21 published scales 49,50) , and consequently, using multiple raters, they selected the nine items best fitting to the working definition of WFC (together with other criteria of minimal confounding with health outcomes, or work and home characteristics, as well as meaningful content in the Dutch language).…”

How Job Demands Affect an IntimatePartner: A Test of the Spillover-Crossover Model in Japan: Akihito SHIMAZU, et al. Department of Mental Health, The University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Medicine-Objectives: The present study examined how job demands affect an intimate partner's well-being. We hypothesized that job demands have a negative influence on partner well-being through the experience of work-family conflict (WFC) and an impaired quality of the relationship (reduced social support and increased social undermining towards the partner). Methods: The participants of this study were 99 couples of dual-earner parents in Japan. Results: Consistent with hypotheses, men's job demands (i.e. overload and emotional demands) were positively related to their own reports of WFC, and indirectly to women's ratings of men's WFC. Consequently, women's ratings of men's WFC were negatively related to the quality of the relationship (i.e. decreased social support from and increased social undermining by men), which, in turn, led to women's ill-health (i.e. depressive symptoms and physical complaints). We found similar findings for the model starting with women's job demands; gender did not affect the strength of the relationships in the model. Conclusions: These findings suggest that high job demands initiate a process of work-family conflict and poor relationship quality, which may eventually affect the intimate partner's well-being in an unfavorable way. Research has suggested that Japanese employees are highly committed to their work 1) . Indeed, the Japanese work longer hours than employees in most other industrial nations 2) . These long work hours may become a problem for employees' intimate relationships with their partners when efforts to fulfill the demands of work interfere with the ability to fulfill the demands of the roles as a spouse, parent, or caregiver 3) . The present study among Japanese dual-earner couples will focus on the impact of job demands on partner wellbeing. Specifically, we will examine whether high job demands may initiate a process of work-family conflict and consequently affect the quality of the relationship (i.e., increased social undermining and reduced social support provided to an intimate partner), which eventually affects partner well-being in an unfavorable way. We will use the recently formulated Spillover-Crossover model 3,4) to test our hypotheses.The Spillover-Crossover model Earlier studies have identified two different ways in which strain is carried over from the work to the family domain 5,6) . Work-family conflict or spillover is a withinperson across-domains transmission of demands and consequent strain from one area of life to another. Previous research has primarily focused on how experiences in the work domain are transferred to and interfere with the non-work domain for the same individual 7) . In contrast, crossover involves transmission across individuals, whereby demands and their consequent strain have effects on between closely related persons 6) . Thus...

“…To this purpose the work-home interference subscale of the Survey Work-Home Interaction NijmeGen (SWING) 28) was slightly adapted to make the items suitable for dayto-day measurement. Two exemplary items are "Today, my work took up time that I would have liked to spend with my spouse/family/friends" and "Today I found it difficult to fulfil my domestic obligations, because I was constantly thinking about my work" (1="no", 2="a little" and 3="yes", α=0.82).…”

Netherlands-The main aim of this study was to establish the convergent and discriminant validity of a single-item measure of daily fatigue ("How fatigued do you currently feel?") in a daily diary context. Convergent validity of our measure was examined by relating it to a validated multiple-item measure of fatigue (Profile of Mood States; McNair, Lorr, & Droppelman, 1971) and to other daily (work-home interference, sleep complaints, work-related effort) and global (fatigue, health complaints, work-home interference, job pressure) measures that are conceptually related to fatigue. Discriminant validity was assessed by relating the single-item fatigue measure to daily (work pleasure) and global (job control, social support, motivation to learn) measures that are conceptually distinct from fatigue. Data were collected among 120 academic staff members, who completed a general questionnaire (tapping the global measures under study) and who took part in a 9-d daily diary study (3 measurements daily). Correlation patterns and multilevel analyses revealed strong and significant associations between the single-item fatigue measure and the variables incorporated to assess convergent validity (especially with the POMS: r=0.80), thus supporting the convergent validity of our measure. Relations with variables included to examine discriminant validity were weak or insignificant, supporting the discriminant validity of the single-item fatigue measure. Despite this study's limitations (i.e., exclusive use of self-reporting, specific sample) we conclude that this single-item fatigue measure offers a valid way to assess daily fatigue.
