relationship between Occupational Stress and burnout among chinese teachers a cross sectional survey in liaoning china
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2015Co-Authors: Yang Wang, Xiaoshi Yang, Jiana Wang, Aaron Ramos, Li Liu, Lie WangAbstract:Teaching has been reported to be one of the most Stressful occupations in the world. Few studies have been conducted to explore the effects of Occupational Stress on burnout among teachers in developing countries. This study aimed to explore the relationship between Occupational Stress and burnout among teachers in primary and secondary schools in the Liaoning Province of China. A questionnaire that assessed Occupational Stress comprised of Karasek’s job content questionnaire (JCQ), Siegrist’s effort–reward imbalance questionnaire (ERI), and burnout assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey was distributed to 681 teachers in primary and secondary schools. A total of 559 effective respondents became our final study subjects. Hierarchical linear regression and logistic regression analyses were performed through the use of SPSS 17.0 to explore the association between Occupational Stress and burnout. A high level of emotional exhaustion was significantly associated with high extrinsic effort, high overcommitment, low skill discretion, and high job demand. A high level of cynicism was associated with low reward, low skill discretion, high overcommitment, and low supervisor support. The low level of professional efficacy was associated with low coworker support, low reward, low skill discretion, and high job demand. Compared to the JCQ, the ERI was more likely to explain the burnout of teachers in our study. Occupational Stress proved to be associated with dimensions of burnout among Chinese teachers. It is important for administrators of primary and middle schools to note that strategies to decrease teachers’ Occupational Stress seem to be crucial to enhance physical and mental health of teachers in China.

the mediating role of psychological capital on the association between Occupational Stress and job burnout among bank employees in china
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Xirui Li, Yang Wang, Xiaoshi Yang, Jiana Wang, Lie Wang, Hui WuAbstract:Although job burnout is common among bank employees, few studies have explored positive resources for combating burnout in this population. This study aims to explore the relationship between Occupational Stress and job burnout among Chinese bank employees, and particularly the mediating role of psychological capital. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Liaoning, China, during June to August of 2013. A questionnaire that included the effort-reward imbalance scale, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, as well as demographic and working factors, was distributed to 1739 employees of state-owned banks. This yielded 1239 effective respondents (467 men, 772 women). Asymptotic and resampling strategies explored the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between Occupational Stress and job burnout. Both extrinsic effort and overcommitment were positively associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation. Meanwhile, reward was negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation, but positively associated with personal accomplishment. There was a gender difference in the mediating role of Psychological capital on the Occupational Stress-job burnout. In male bank employees, Psychological capital mediated the relationships of extrinsic effort and reward with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; in female bank employees, it partially mediated the relationships of extrinsic effort, reward and overcommitment with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation, as well as the relationship between reward and personal accomplishment. Psychological capital was generally a mediator between Occupational Stress and job burnout among Chinese bank employees. Psychological capital may be a potential positive resource in reducing the negative effects of Occupational Stress on job burnout and relieving job burnout among bank employees, especially female bank employees.

the mediating role of psychological capital on the association between Occupational Stress and depressive symptoms among chinese physicians a cross sectional study
BMC Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Ying Chang, Jiana Wang, Jialiang Fu, Lie WangAbstract:Although Occupational Stress is an identified predictor of depressive symptoms, the mechanism behind the association is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine how psychological capital (PsyCap), a positive psychological state, mediates the association between Occupational Stress and depressive symptoms among Chinese physicians. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Liaoning Province, China, during September–October 2010. Self-administered questionnaires including items on depressive symptoms assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Occupational Stress assessed by the effort–reward imbalance scale and PsyCap estimated by a 24-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire, together with age, gender, marital status and education were distributed to 1300 physicians employed in large general hospitals. The final sample consisted of 998 participants. Asymptotic and resampling strategies were used to examine how PsyCap mediates the association between Occupational Stress and depressive symptoms. Both the effort/reward ratio (ERR) and overcommitment were significantly associated with depressive symptoms among male and female physicians. There was a gender difference in the mediating role of PsyCap on the Occupational Stress–depressive symptoms association. For male physicians, PsyCap did not mediate the association between Occupational Stress and depressive symptoms. For female physicians, ERR and overcommitment were negatively associated with PsyCap, and PsyCap was negatively associated with depressive symptoms. As a result, PsyCap significantly mediated the associations of ERR and overcommitment with depressive symptoms. The proportion of PsyCap mediation was 19.07% for ERR, and 24.29% for overcommitment. PsyCap could be a positive resource for combating depressive symptoms in Chinese physicians. In addition to reducing Occupational Stress, PsyCap development should be included in depression prevention and treatment strategies, especially for female physicians.

Occupational Stress and its related factors among university teachers in china
Journal of Occupational Health, 2011Co-Authors: Wei Sun, Lie WangAbstract:Objectives University teachers in China are expected to suffer serious Occupational Stress due to the expanding enrollment in universities without a proportional increase in teacher resources and the fact that all promotions for university teachers are determined based on not only teaching but also the outcome of scientific research. This study was designed to assess the Occupational Stress among university teachers in China and clarify its risk factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in Liaoning Province, the centralized area of higher education in Northeast China. Eight universities (2 multidiscipline and 6 specialized) and 10% of academic staff each were randomly sampled. Questionnaires pertaining to Occupational Stress indicated by the Chinese Version Personal Strain Questionnaire (PSQ) and demographic characteristics, health status, work situations, and personal and social resources were distributed in October 2008. A total of 827 effective respondents (response rate 76.4%) became our participants. Results The average raw score of PSQ was 91.0 among the university teachers. General linear model analysis showed that the factors significantly associated with the PSQ score were, in standardized estimate (β) sequence, mental health, role overload, role insufficiency, social support, monthly income, role limitations due to physical problems, research finance and self-rated disease with adjustment for age and sex. Conclusion We concluded that, in comparison to work-related factors and social support, mental health is a prominent risk factor for Occupational Stress in university teachers in China. Improvement of mental health and organizational climate should be considered to lessen the Occupational Stress of university teachers.

Occupational Stress among hospital nurses cross sectional survey
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2010Co-Authors: Tieshuang Chi, Lie Wang, Li Chen, Yaping JinAbstract:wu h., chi t.-s., chen l., wang l. & jin y.-p. (2010) Occupational Stress among hospital nurses: cross-sectional survey. Journal of Advanced Nursing66(3), 627–634. Abstract Aim. This paper is a report of a study conducted to explore factors associated with Occupational Stress among female hospital nurses in China. Background. Nursing is a highly Stressful occupation, and high levels of Occupational Stress are believed to affect the physical and mental health of nurses. Occupational Stress among nurses is the result of exposure to a combination of working environment and personal factors. Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2008. The study population consisted of 2613 female nurses from 20 hospitals in the Liaoning province of China. Occupational Stress was measured by questionnaires that included the Chinese version of Personal Strain Questionnaire, and data were collected on respondents’ demographics, working situations, Occupational roles, and personal resources. Of the nurses solicited for enrolment in the study, 79·2% returned the completed questionnaire. A general linear regression model was applied to analyse the factors associated with Occupational Stress. Results. Mean Personal Strain Questionnaire score was 86·9, and this score was correlated, in descending order of standardized estimate, with role boundary, role insufficiency, responsibility, social support, self-care, nurse–patient relationship, chronic disease, role overload, rational coping and night shift. Conclusion. Role boundary and role insufficiency were the factors that had the highest association with Occupational Stress. Occupational health education and Occupational training programmes may be necessary to improve the knowledge and ability of nurses to cope with job demands and reduce Occupational Stress.

does social support buffer the effects of Occupational Stress on sleep quality among paramedics a daily diary study
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Jessie Pow, David King, Ellen Stephenson, Anita DelongisAbstract:Given evidence suggesting a detrimental effect of Occupational Stress on sleep, it is important to identify protective factors that may ameliorate this effect. We followed 87 paramedics upon waking and after work over 1 week using a daily diary methodology. Multilevel modeling was used to examine whether the detrimental effects of daily Occupational Stress on sleep quality were buffered by perceived social support availability. Paramedics who reported more support availability tended to report better quality sleep over the week. Additionally, perceived support availability buffered postworkday sleep from average Occupational Stress and days of especially high Occupational Stress. Perceived support availability also buffered off-workday sleep from the cumulative amount of Occupational Stress experienced over the previous workweek. Those with low levels of support displayed poor sleep quality in the face of high Occupational Stress; those high in support did not show significant effects of Occupational Stress on sleep.

managers Occupational Stress in china the role of self efficacy
Personality and Individual Differences, 2005Co-Authors: Changqin Lu, Cary L CooperAbstract:Abstract The role of self-efficacy, an individual difference variable, in Occupational Stress research is seldom discussed, and is even rarely examined in Chinese societies. This study investigates the relationships between Stressors, managerial self-efficacy (MSE) and job strains (job satisfaction, physical strain, and psychological strain). A total of 450 enterprise managers in eight cities of the People’s Republic of China completed a battery of structured questionnaires. The results of the study generally support that total Stressors was positively related to physical and psychological strains. Related to the moderating effects of MSE on the Stressor–strain relationship, only a significant moderating effect was found in predicting physical strain.

measuring Occupational Stress development of the pressure management indicator
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 1998Co-Authors: Stephen Williams, Cary L CooperAbstract:The study of Occupational Stress is hindered by the lack of compact and comprehensive standardized measurement tools. The Pressure Management Indicator (PMI) is a 120-item self-report questionnaire developed from the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI). The PMI is more reliable, more comprehensive, and shorter than the OSI. It provides an integrated measure of the major dimensions of Occupational Stress. The outcome scales measure job satisfaction, organizational satisfaction, organizational security, organizational commitment, anxietydepression, resilience, worry, physical symptoms, and exhaustion. The Stressor scales cover pressure from workload, relationships, career development, managerial responsibility, personal responsibility, home demands, and daily hassles. The moderator variables measure drive, impatience, control, decision latitude, and the coping strategies of problem focus, life work balance, and social support.

a study of Occupational Stress among government white collar workers in brazil using the Occupational Stress indicator
Stress Medicine, 1993Co-Authors: Lucio F De Renault Moraes, Jacky Swan, Cary L CooperAbstract:Reports investigating Occupational Stress in Brazil have suffered from a paucity of Brazilian Stress measurement tools. This article reports a detailed examination of Occupational Stress among white-collar workers in a medium-sized Brazilian government organization, using a Brazilian-Portuguese translation of the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI). This indicator is used widely in the UK, Europe and in the US, and measures major sources of pressure at work, Stress outcome variables (job satisfaction, mental and physical health) and individual difference variables (Type A behaviour, locus of control, and coping strategies). These individual difference variables are purported to mediate the relationship between the sources of pressure and Stress outcomes. Additional independent measures of the Stress outcome variables were used along with measures of personal demographics. The findings suggest that these Brazilian workers experience more sources of pressure and use fewer coping strategies than a normative comparison group comprising UK workers, though it is not clear whether these differences are unique to the Brazilian organization in the study or due to differences in Stress cross-nationally. Thirty-one to forty-year-olds reported greater sources of Stress than either younger or older workers, but age did not independently predict Stress outcomes. Females tended to report higher sources of Stress, poorer health and lower job satisfaction than males, and sex also independently predicted health and job satisfaction on some measures of these variables. Those with degrees reported greater sources of Stress and lower job satisfaction than those without degrees, but educational level did not independently predict the Stress outcome variables whereas job type did predict job satisfaction, with those in managerial jobs generally being more satisfied than those in clerical or in technical jobs. This latter group were the least satisfied and experienced the greatest sources of Stress. Other predictors of job satisfaction included locus of control, Type A behaviour and sources of Stress from factors intrinsic to the job. In fact, this last variable was important in predicting both job satisfaction and health on all measures of these variables. Other predictors of health included locus of control and sources of Stress from the interface between home and work. In general, findings obtained with alternative measures of the same Stress outcome variables were consistent, adding convergent validity to the data.

Journal of Occupational Health, 2013Co-Authors: Qiuhong Lin, Chaoqiang Jiang, T H LamAbstract:Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the associations between Occupational Stress, burnout and turnover intention and explore their associated factors among managerial staff in Guangzhou, China. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited 288 managerial employees from a Sino-Japanese joint venture automobile manufacturing enterprise in Guangzhou. The questionnaire included questions about sociodemographic characteristics, smoking, drinking and physical activity and the Chinese versio ns of the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). The response rate was 57.6%. Stepwise regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between burnout and Occupational Stress and turnover intention and related factors. Results The respondents had a high level burnout on the personal accomplishment subscale and had a high prevalence of turnover intention. Neuroticism, psychoticism, job satisfaction, Occupational Stress and social support were strong predictors of emotional exhaustion. Psychoticism, passive coping, Occupational Stress, objective support, utilization of support, male gender and job satisfaction were strong predictors of depersonalization. Active and passive coping and job satisfaction were strong predictors of personal accomplishment. Job dissatisfaction and emotional exhaustion were strong predictors of turnover intention. Conclusions High Occupational Stress and low job satisfaction were associated with high burnout, particularly in the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions. Low job satisfaction and high emotional exhaustion were associated with high turnover intention among employees. Personality traits, social support and coping style were also found to be associated with burnout.
