ERI and OC were similarly related with HPA responsivity. However, because OC moderated the relationship between ERI and HPA axis markers, the importance of OC should not be overlooked. Because OC is likely more malleable than ERI to intervention, this may be a promising avenue for future research.
The links between workplace stress and ensuing ill-health have been well researched, but less study has focussed on the underlying mechanisms responsible for this association. Despite this, it is timely to synthesize what data are available on the association between workplace stress and dysregulated inflammatory and immune responses, which are likely implicated in several of the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
