“…Results found by Valadez et al [19] among industrial sector employees showed the emotional exhaustion dimension of the BS to be the most representative one, causing discomfort in the low back and neck. On the other hand, no evidence of a relationship between cynicism and professional efficacy and MSD was found.…”

“…Several studies have used instruments that include the evaluation of MSD as well as a visual evaluation, and among them are the following sectors: middle and senior managers [19], university students [45], workers in highway construction [46], operator teams [47], and workers in general [48], with the objective of obtaining a comprehensive evaluation.…”

“…Research from an academic perspective provides state-ofthe-art contributions by considering issues of global interest in terms of the impact that the BS, the working hours, and the MSD have in the middle and upper management population in the IMMEX, in order to enrich the scarce existing literature regarding the Mexican population [19]. The main objective of this research was to propose and validate a model that associates the duration of the working day through working hours with the presence of the most frequent BS and MSD in the particular population under study.…”

“…Just as there are psychosocial risk factors in every workplace, the IMMEX middle and senior managers also feature these indicators, which invites them to pay due attention to the phenomenon. Usually, these workers remain in the same position for long periods of time [19], becoming sedentary workers with long working hours. It is important to focus this research on such personnel because of the constant tension they undergo as a result of their decision-making in situations of uncertainty.…”

Work-related stress is one of the ten most frequent occupational health problems worldwide and precedes a variety of serious mental disorders. It occurs when employees' capabilities fail to meet job demands or when their knowledge and skills are insufficient to comply with company expectations. The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of working hours and burnout syndrome (BS) on the appearance of musculoskeletal discomfort (MSD) through three dimensions. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 472 middle and senior management staff in the industrial sector in Mexico. Structural Equation Modeling was used to evaluate the relationship between variables. The results showed that 54% of participants reported to be working a maximum of 48 hours a week, the four most frequent MSD occurring in the low back, upper back, neck and eyes. Regarding BS, 59.6% of the participants experienced it at levels ranging from medium to extreme. These findings showed that working hours have a direct impact on emotional exhaustion and indirectly affect MSD and the dimensions of professional efficacy and cynicism. In addition, discomfort in the upper back is directly associated to ailments in the low back and neck and indirectly, to discomfort in the eyes. This points to the need for a greater focus on developing specific measures to reduce or prevent musculoskeletal discomfort symptoms which result from employees' long working hours and emotional exhaustion.INDEX TERMS Burnout syndrome, musculoskeletal discomfort, structural equation modeling, working hours.

Mental health disorders resulting from work stressors are increasing in the Mexican manufacturing industry and worldwide. Managerial positions in these contexts are highly stressful, and although physical activity may reduce the negative effects of work stress, the relationships between these two aspects regarding their effects on the body mass index (BMI) of obese managers are scarcely studied. This article aims to study such relationships by using the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) dimensions with the Baecke’s physical activity questionnaire dimensions and analyzing their effects on the BMI. A sample of 255 managers from the Mexican industry, with a (BMI > 30) participated by answering the surveys and providing their weight, their height, and certain sociodemographic information. The research hypotheses were tested using WarpPLS® 6.0 for structural equation modeling. The results for three models featuring acceptable reliability to estimate the direct, indirect, and total effects are presented. The first model showed a medium explanatory power, the variable of job decision-making authority having the greatest direct effect on BMI. The second model showed a medium explanatory power, and the variable of physical activity during leisure-time observed the unique direct effect on BMI. Finally, although the integrating model showed a small explanatory power, both work stress and the physical activity exerted observed direct effects on BMI reduction.
