“…The stress literature provides mixed results vis‐à‐vis the impact of control on the relationship between workload‐related stress and strains such as satisfaction or anxiety (Jex & Gudaowski, ). Whereas perceived job control moderates the relationship between workload‐related stressors and job satisfaction in some cases (Fox et al ., ), others have not demonstrated such an effect (Perrewe & Ganster, ; O'Driscoll & Beehr, ). We also find that employees' belief that they have control over their jobs directly impacts the strain variables from work demand stressors, that is, reduces anxiety and increases job satisfaction (Spector, ), rather than moderating the relationship between stressors and strain.…”

“…Their response to stressors is thus likely to be less extreme (Spector, ), suggesting self‐efficacy to be a moderator of the relationship between stressor and manifest stress outcome. From the stress literature, we know that individuals with high self‐efficacy and higher faith in their ability at their job show a lower strength of negative relationship between role stressors and job performance (Pierce et al ., ) and are better able to cope with greater job demands (Fox et al ., ; Schaubroeck & Merritt, ). In general, self‐efficacy can be an effective moderating mechanism, because the stressor condition (i.e.…”

We investigate the effect of conditions that create technostress, on technology-enabled innovation, technology-enabled performance and overall performance. We further look at the role of technology self-efficacy, organizational mechanisms that inhibit technostress and technology competence as possible mitigations to the effects of technostress creators. Our findings show a negative association between technostress creators and performance. We find that, while traditional effort-based mechanisms such as building technology competence reduce the impact of technostress creators on technology-enabled innovation and performance, more empowering mechanisms such as developing technology self-efficacy and information systems (IS) literacy enhancement and involvement in IS initiatives are required to counter the decrease in overall performance because of technostress creators. Noting that the professional sales context offers increasingly high expectations for technology-enabled performance in an inherently interpersonal-oriented and relationship-oriented environment with regard to overall performance, and high failure rates for IS acceptance/use, the study uses survey data collected from 237 institutional sales professionals.

“…Job latitude refers to the amount of discretion that workers exercise over when and how they perform their work. This dimension is of considerable importance since, in a context of increasing job demands, increase in job control helps nurses in coping and maintaining high job satisfaction (Fox et al. 1993).…”

“…Individuals' perceptions can intervene in the stress and disease process and aggravate or ameliorate the impact of potential stressors on health. In addition, individuals' perceptions provide insight and a better basis for designing interventions that can enhance individual self‐management and coping strategies (37). Currently, with few exceptions, workplace interventions aimed at helping employed individuals with arthritis remain employed are lacking (19).…”

Objective. To examine employed individuals' perceptions of arthritis-work spillover (AWS), the reciprocal influence of arthritis on work and work on arthritis, and the demographic, illness, and work context factors associated with AWS. Methods. The study group comprised 492 employed individuals with osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis. Participants completed an interview-administered, structured questionnaire assessing AWS, demographic (e.g., age, sex), illness (e.g., disease type, pain, activity limitations), and work context (e.g., workplace control, hours of work) variables. Principal components analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results. A single factor solution emerged for AWS. The scale had an internal reliability of 0.88. Respondents were more likely to report that work interfered with caring for their arthritis than they were to report that their disease affected their work performance. Younger respondents, those with more fatigue and workplace activity limitations, and those working in trades and transportation reported more AWS. Individuals with more control over their work schedules reported less AWS. Conclusion. The results of this study extend research on arthritis by reexamining the interface between arthritis and employment. This study introduces a new measure of AWS that enhances the range of tools available to researchers and clinicians examining the impact of arthritis in individuals' lives.
