“…Therefore, as a distinct form of social support in the workplace, some scholars argue that the positive acquisition of organizational support has a beneficial effect on employees' work performance, career productivity, and mental well-being [44][45][46][47]. Given that employees spend most of their time in the workplace, some scholars believe that organizational support plays a crucial role in alleviating fatigue and life stress, as well as improving job satisfaction [48][49][50].…”

Mobile young white-collar workers not only have the characteristics of mobile young people, but also have the characteristics of general white-collar workers. Under the influence of both, their mental health may be suffering from "double disadvantage". So, based on an ecological model of the stress process, this paper tries to use the data of the questionnaire on the mental health of mobile young white-collar workers in Zhejiang Province to explore the influence of some factors in the middle workplace and residence place on the mental health of micro individuals. The results show that: (1) The working environment with high control and low freedom and the workplace discrimination against the mobile status will have a negative impact on the mental health of mobile young white-collar workers; (2) Financial anxiety in daily life will lead to a decline in the mental health level of mobile young white-collar workers; (3) Good organizational support and neighborhood social relations can significantly relieve life pressure, so as to effectively improve the mental health of mobile young white-collar workers. It can be seen that we also need to pay more attention to the mental health of mobile young white-collar workers in order to improve their situation.

“…It is deliberated as a form of organizational stress intervention as it engenders observations of emotional care and support by the administration and provides solutions to problems (Asumah et al, 2019). In particular, Oh et al (2021) endorsed that support at workplace plays a significant role in day‐to‐day work behaviours, which aids employees to improve mental health, resolve job‐relevant strains and decrease exhaustion. Therefore, Beehr et al (2000) advise examining the three types of social support (i.e., emotional, instrumental and informational) independently to understand the effect better.…”

Aim This study examines Pakistan nurses’ emotional labor and stress in healthcare emergencies on their emotional exhaustion and availability of support at organizational and managerial levels to alleviate the effects. Background As COVID‐19 pandemic has been declared a global outbreak and many countries have enacted medical emergencies, this has increased job demands and expected desired emotional expressions from frontline workers. Such high levels of job demand contribute to various stress reactions among employees. Methodology Authors applied a longitudinal design, using an experimental approach, to collect data from 319 nurses serving in 107 government hospitals in Pakistan. The authors surveyed nurses at two‐time points with the interval of 3 months by using an online questionnaire tool. At one time, they asked nurses to report on emotional labor, stress, and exhaustion. In the second phase, after providing supports (during interval phase) at different levels, the authors repeated the same scales from same participants in addition to instrumental support and coaching leadership. Data were processed using SPSS‐Amos for elementary analysis and Process‐macro for robustness and hypotheses testing. Results Authors find that job stress fully mediates relationship between surface acting and emotional exhaustion in controlled phase and partially mediates in intervention phase. Furthermore, in intervention phase, authors find that instrumental support moderates and alleviate positive effects of emotional labor on job stress, and coaching leadership moderates and lessens positive effects of job stress on emotional exhaustion. Conclusion This research concludes that healthcare organizations can alleviate emotional exhaustion caused by emotional labor and job stress amid emergencies by providing support at different levels; organizational and managerial. However, the effectiveness of these supports depends on high to low levels. Implications for Nursing Management This study demonstrates that to handle and support emotional labor and job stress to avoid emotional exhaustion in healthcare emergencies, organizational supports matter. Support at organizational level can include instrumental support. At managerial level, holding a coaching leadership style can foster external facets of management while uplifting the internal support qualities of confidence and self‐awareness that improve the individuals’ ability to lead; work with paradox and uncertainty.

The aim of this paper is to identify key relevant characteristics of pathological workplaces and their importance via logistic regression and the creation of the model that would be based on this method. Online questionnaire survey was used for collecting the data. It has been realized in 2023 on the sample of 489 respondents. These respondents were employees of companies that operated in the Slovak Republic. The model itself has been developed using logistic regression. The model has identified relevant characteristics of the pathological workplace: 1) sectoral type of the company; 2) type of corporate culture; 3) type of leadership. Toxic workplaces are present mostly in companies from accommodation and catering services where personal culture and authoritative leadership take place. With the same profile of corporate culture and leadership, also sectors of education, healthcare, and social assistance have been detected as more likely to be endangered by toxicity. However, little is known about the characteristics of pathological workplaces, which could help to prevent unhealthy relationships between managers and employees and lead the company to more effective production and operation on the market. The research abstracts from the generational specifics of subjects who are involved in the pathological working schemes.
