Status Inconsistency in organizations from social hierarchy to stress
Journal of Organizational Behavior, 1993Co-Authors: Samuel B Bacharach, Peter Bamberger, Bryan MundellAbstract:This paper adopts the concept of Status Inconsistency from the wider sociological literature in order to explain one of the social psychological processes possibly underlying the linkage between organizational demography and occupational stress. In doing so, we review the methodological and theoretical difficulties that arise in applying Status Inconsistency to an organizational setting. After explicitly discussing our assumptions, we develop out of the literature a series of propositions explicating the nature of the relationships between demography, Status, Status Inconsistency and occupational stress. In offering these propositions we not only attempt to show how Status Inconsistency may be used to explain many of the empirical relations found to exist between demography and occupational stress, but also try to show the potential value of the Status Inconsistency concept as both an independent and dependent variable in general organizational research.

are Status Inconsistency work stress and work family conflict associated with depressive symptoms testing prospective evidence in the lida study
Social Science & Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Richard Peter, S March, Jeanbaptist Du PrelAbstract:Abstract Background Depressive symptoms are common and economically relevant. Women suffer more often than men do. We analyze associations between social Status Inconsistency, psychosocial factors, and depressive symptoms stratified by gender. Methods In the present study, 3340 employees of two age cohorts (1959, 1965) working in two waves (2011, 2014) of the prospective German lidA-study and who gave written consent to link register data regarding their employment histories were included. Gender-specific influences of social Status Inconsistency (deviation of observed income from expected average income based on acquired education) on depressive symptoms and mediation of these associations by work stress in terms of effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) and work-family-conflict (WFC) were analyzed with confirmatory cross-lagged path models. Results Among men, consistent Status (i.e., average income in a specific educational group) increased the frequency of depressive symptoms. No association between negative SSI (i.e., income below the average income given a specific educational attainment) or positive SSI (i.e., income above the average income given a specific educational attainment) and depressive symptoms was observed among men or women. ERI and WFC were longitudinally associated with the outcome and differed slightly regarding gender, i.e., showing stronger effects of ERI for women and of WFC for men. Mediation of the association between social Status and depressive symptoms was observed for men and for consistent Status (path: consistent Status →ERI → depressive symptoms) but not for SSI. Conclusions ERI and WFC increase the risk of future episodes with depressive symptoms in men and in women irrespective of SSI, occupational position, full- or part-time work, regional factors or individual characteristics.

the impact of social Status Inconsistency on cardiovascular risk factors myocardial infarction and stroke in the epic heidelberg cohort
BMC Public Health, 2011Co-Authors: Stefanie Braig, Richard Peter, Gabriele Nagel, Silke Hermann, Sabine Rohrmann, Jakob LinseisenAbstract:Social inequalities in cardiovascular diseases are well documented. Yet, the relation of social Status Inconsistency (having different ranks in two or more Status indicators like education, occupational position or income) and medical conditions of heart or vessels is not clear. Status Inconsistency (SI) is assumed to be stressful, and the association of psychosocial distress and health is well known. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the relationship between cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and Status Inconsistency. Another target was to assess the influence of behaviour related risk factors on this association. 8960 men and 6070 women, aged 45-65 years, from the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) were included. Socio-economic Status was assessed by education/vocational training and occupational position at recruitment. During a median follow-up of 8.7 years, information on CVD was collected. Compared to Status consistent subjects, men who were in a higher occupational position than could be expected given their educational attainment had a nearly two-fold increased incidence of CVD (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.8, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.5; 2.4, adjusted for age). Smoking behaviour and BMI differed significantly between those who had adequate occupational positions and those who did not. Yet, these lifestyle factors, as opposed to age, did not contribute to the observed differences in CVD. No association of cardiovascular diseases and Status Inconsistency was found for women or in cases where education exceeded occupational position. Status inconsistent men (occupational position > education) had a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases than Status consistent men. However, harmful behaviour did not explain this relationship.

Socioeconomic Status, Status Inconsistency and risk of ischaemic heart disease: a prospective study among members of a statutory health insurance company
Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2007Co-Authors: Richard Peter, Holger Gässler, Siegfried GeyerAbstract:Background: Inconsistency in social Status and its impact on health have been a focus of research 30–40 years ago. Yet, there is little recent information on it’s association with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) morbidity and IHD is still defined as one of the major health problems in socioeconomically developed societies. Methods: A secondary analysis of prospective historical data from 68 805 male and female members of a statutory German health insurance company aged 25–65 years was conducted. Data included information on sociodemographic variables, social Status indicators (education, occupational grade and income) and hospital admissions because of IHD. Results: Findings from Cox regression analysis showed an increased risk for IHD in the group with the highest educational level, whereas the lowest occupational and income groups had the highest hazard ratio (HR). Further analysis revealed that after adjustment for income Status Inconsistency (defined by the combination of higher educational level with lower occupational Status) accounts for increased risk of IHD (HR for men, 3.14 and for women, 3.63). An association of similar strength was observed regarding high education/low income in women (HR 3.53). The combination of low education with high income reduced the risk among men (HR 0.29). No respective findings were observed concerning occupational group and income. Conclusions: Status Inconsistency is associated with the risk of IHD as well as single traditional indicators of socioeconomic position. Information on Status Inconsistency should be measured in addition to single indicators of socioeconomic Status to achieve a more appropriate estimation of the risk of IHD.

response to letter regarding article socioeconomic Status Inconsistency and risk of stroke among japanese middle aged women
Stroke, 2014Co-Authors: Kaori Honjo, Hiroyasu IsoAbstract:We thank Drs Liao et al1 for their interest in our article.2 The authors are concerned that our results may be misleading because we combine all types of stroke for determining outcome. In response to the concerns by Dr Liao et al, we conducted our analysis by subtype of stroke. We performed a similar analysis to that in Table 4 in our previous article2 and estimated adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraparenchymal hemorrhage, and ischemic stroke …

socioeconomic Status Inconsistency and risk of stroke among japanese middle aged women
Stroke, 2014Co-Authors: Kaori Honjo, Hiroyasu Iso, Manami Inoue, Norie Sawada, Shoichiro TsuganeAbstract:Background and Purpose—Little research has been conducted to examine the effect of inconsistencies in socioeconomic Status on cardiovascular health. In particular, no studies have been reported in Asian countries, including Japan, which is thought to have high socioeconomic Status Inconsistency among women. Methods—We examined the effect of Status Inconsistency between education level and occupation on stroke risk in a prospective 20-year study of 14 742 middle-aged Japanese women included in the prospective Japan Public Health Center-based (JPHC) Study Cohort I in 1990. Status Inconsistency between education level and occupation was determined (qualified, overqualified, and underqualified), and the association with risk of stroke was examined. Cox proportional regression analysis was used to determine hazard ratios, which were adjusted for age, marital Status, and geographical area. Results—Adjusted hazard ratio for stroke in overqualified compared with qualified women was 2.06 (95% confidence interval, ...
