“…Work–home interference is defined as situations in which negative or positive stress reactions at work influence a person’s function at home; this is more common than home–work interference in which stresses of home influence performance at work [38]. Young workers, both women and men, may have a greater wish or need than older workers to separate their work and their private lives, possibly because this age group may value individualism more highly.…”

BackgroundGood work ability is very important in young workers, but knowledge of work situations that influence work ability in this group is poor. The aim of this study was to assess whether changes in self-reported work factors are associated with self-reported work ability among young female and male workers.MethodsA sample of 1,311 (718 women and 593 men) was selected from a Swedish cohort of workers aged 21–25 years. At baseline and at 1-year follow-up, participants completed a self-administrated questionnaire including ratings of physical and psychosocial work factors and current work ability. Prevalence ratios were calculated to assess univariate and multivariate associations between changes in work factors and changes in work ability.ResultsDecreased job control (PR 1.7, 95% CI 1.49–2.12) and increased negative influence of job demands on private life (PR 1.5, 95% CI 1.25–1.69) were associated with reduced work ability for both female and male workers in the multivariate analyses. Among female workers, an association was found between improved work ability and increased social support at work (PR 2.4, CI 1.43–3.95). For male workers, increased job control (PR 2.3, 95% CI 1.21–4.54) and decreased negative influence of job demands on private life (PR 2.1, 95% CI 1.10–3.87) were associated with improved work ability in the multivariate analyses.ConclusionsDecreased job control and increased negative influence of job demands on private life over time seem to be the most important work factors associated with reduced work ability among young workers of both sexes. Increased social support at work, increased job control, and decreased negative influence of job demands on private life were also found to be the main work factors associated with improved work ability, although with possible gender differences.

“…Por contra, la falta de datos referidos a otras variables susceptibles de afectar al síndrome que permitan confirmar su efecto en árbitros, así como la falta de información sobre el sueldo percibido, el cual se entiende como un importante amortiguador psicológico que podría reducir los efectos emocionales (Mostert, Peeters, & Rost, 2011), suponen las principales limitaciones.…”

ResumenHasta la fecha, el síndrome de burnout no ha sido específicamente analizado en el colectivo arbitral, aun conociendo sus importantes consecuencias físicas y emocionales. En el presente trabajo se evalúa, mediante el Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, la totalidad de árbitros de 1ª y 2ª División de la LFP (n=123). Además, se estudia la relación del síndrome en este colectivo con el estrés, ansiedad y apoyo social. Los resultados muestran una prevalencia del síndrome del 2.44%. Aunque, en general, no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las dimensiones del síndrome en función de la División, rol (árbitro principal o asistente) y experiencia arbitral, existe una tendencia a que los árbitros principales, de 1ª División y más experimentados presenten mayor riesgo de desarrollar el síndrome. Finalmente, se confirma la relación del estrés, ansiedad y apoyo social con el burnout en este colectivo (r =.78).Palabras clave: síndrome de burnout, fútbol, árbitros, prevalencia, estrés AbstractTo date, the burnout syndrome has not been specifically assessed in referees, knowing its important physical and emotional consequences. In this paper, all soccer referees from 1 st and 2 nd Division (n=123) of the Professional Spanish Soccer League (LFP) are assessed through Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. Furthermore, the relationship between the syndrome in referees and stress, anxiety and social support is examined. Results display a prevalence of burnout of 2.44%. Although, in general, no statistically significant differences have found in the dimensions of burnout syndrome according to the Division, role (head referee or assistant) and refereeing experience, there is a tendency for the head referees from 1 st Division and more expertise report a higher risk of developing the syndrome. Finally, the relationship between stress, anxiety and social support and the syndrome is confirmed in this group (r =.78).

“…Although family responsibilities are often regarded by employees as one of the top demands leading to work stress (Bakker, Ten Brummelhuis, Prins & Van der Heijden, 2011), work can also energise people and contribute to experiences of psychological meaningfulness, competence and availability to work, and personal engagement. Previous research showed that work-home and home-work interaction affect the engagement of employees (Bakker et al, 2011;Lingard, Brown, Bradley, Bailey & Townsend, 2007;Mostert, Cronjé & Pienaar, 2006;Mostert, Peeters & Rost, 2011). Two psychological conditions, namely psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability, seem relevant for transferring the effects of work-home/home-work interaction to employee engagement (Kahn, 1990;Kahn & Heapy, 2014;May et al, 2004).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between work-home/home-work interaction, psychological conditions and employee engagement. A cross-sectional survey was used. The participants were 292 employees of a uranium mine in Namibia residing in towns distant from their workplace. The following measuring instruments were used: Survey Work-Home Interaction -Nijmegen, Psychological Conditions Scale and Work Engagement Scale. Positive work-home interaction and negative home-work interaction had direct positive and negative effects on psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability respectively. Psychological meaningfulness, psychological availability, positive work-home interaction and positive home-work interaction had direct effects on employee engagement. An analysis of the indirect effects showed that positive work-home interaction affected employee engagement via experiences of psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability. Negative home-work interaction affected employee engagement negatively via low psychological meaningfulness and low psychological availability. Implementing policies to promote meaningfulness and availability at work, to build positive workhome interaction and to protect employees against negative home-work interference, will contribute to personal engagement at work.
