“…Em relação ao padrão de comportamento tipo A, dados demonstram que estes indivíduos (competitivos, impacientes e agressivos) tendem a experimentar mais conseqüências negativas diante de demandas laborais do que os indivíduos tipo B, trabalhando em condições semelhantes (Caplan & Jones, 1975;Jamal, 1990). Algumas pesquisas, porém, não têm encontrado efeito do comportamento tipo A sobre o estresse ocupacional (Kirmeyer & Diamond, 1985;Schmied & Lawler, 1986).…”

RESUMO − Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a influência da interferência família-trabalho e dos valores do trabalho sobre o estresse ocupacional. Para tanto, utilizaram-se três instrumentos: Escala de Estresse no Trabalho, Escala de Interação Trabalho-Família e Escala de Valores Relativos ao Trabalho. Participaram da pesquisa 237 funcionários de uma instituição bancária. Os resultados indicaram que a interferência família-trabalho influencia o estresse ocupacional, sendo que quanto maior o escore de interferência, maior o estresse. Sugere-se que a interferência família-trabalho possa favorecer diretamente o aparecimento de estressores organizacionais e orientar cognições e afetos que influenciem a percepção de demandas do trabalho como estressores. Os valores do trabalho não apresentaram relação com o estresse ocupacional, o que pode ser decorrente do instrumento utilizado para avaliar o estresse ou da maior importância desses valores na escolha da profissão. Limitações e orientações para pesquisas futuras são apresentadas no texto.Palavras-chave: estresse ocupacional; valores do trabalho; interferência família-trabalho. Impact of Work Values and Family -Work Interference on Occupational StressABSTRACT − The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of family-work interference and work values on occupational stress. Three instruments were used to collect data: Work Stress Scale, the Work-Family Interaction Scale and the Work Values Scale. The instruments were administered to 237 workers of a banking institution. The results showed that the family-work interference did influence on occupational stress in the sense that higher scores on interference were correlated with higher stress. The authors suggest that family-work interference can directly contribute to the emergence of organizational stressors and influence cognition and affects that can have an impact on the person's perception of job demands as stressors. Work values had no relation with occupational stress. This could be explained by the instrument used to evaluate occupational stress or the importance given to work values in the process of professional choice. Limitations and orientations to future research are pointed.Key words: occupational stress; work values; family-work interference. o estresse ocupacional como um processo concebido por estressores e respostas e como um conceito relacional, o qual enfoca a relação entre o ambiente de trabalho e o sujeito. Isto pode ser observado, por exemplo, na teoria de Lazarus (1995), na teoria cibernética do estresse (Edwards, 1992) e na teoria de ajustamento pessoa-ambiente de Edwards e Cooper (1990). Lazarus (1995) propõe que o estresse ocupacional ocorre quando o indivíduo avalia as demandas do trabalho como excessivas para os recursos de enfrentamento que possui. O estresse não seria uma propriedade da pessoa ou do ambiente, mas poderia se desenvolver a partir da conjunção de um tipo particular de ambiente com um tipo determinado de pessoa. Pressão de tempo, sobrecarga de trabal...

“…Heart rate scores were used in order to examine the overall stress response. By using change scores instead of a repeated measures ANOVA, the amplitude of the stress response could be observed and tested in relation to status instead of isolated measurement scores (Caplan and Jones 1975;Houston 1972;Kagan et al 1989;Massey et al 2014;Vrana et al 1989). Results revealed a significant difference between dominance groups (F (1, 64)=3.39, p=.048).…”

“…Heart rate change scores were figured by subtracting the heart rate at time one from time two and time two from the heart rate at time three. Heart rate change scores were used based on previous literature demonstrating the amplitude of the stress response instead of isolated measurement (Caplan and Jones 1975;Houston 1972;Kagan et al 1989;Massey et al 2014;Vrana et al 1989). …”

Sex differences in physiological responses to social threats, as well as status seeking, have been found; however, underlying individual differences are far less documented, especially in women. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the role of self-perceived social status in response to social evaluative threat among young women. Participants completed a self-perceived social dominance questionnaire and then underwent a modified version of the Trier Social Stress Test in which they received negative feedback. Heart rate was used in order to gauge participants' physiological response. Women who rated themselves as dominant showed a reduction in heart rate from pre-task to post-task, suggesting parasympathetic activation and attunement to the social evaluative threat. Women who rated themselves as subordinate showed an increase in heart rate over the same period, suggesting sympathetic arousal and perceived threat. These findings suggest that physiological responses to social evaluative threats in women may depend on their perceived social status. The autonomic nervous system responses of dominant women may facilitate the maintenance of their social position within a hierarchy.

“…De nombreuses recherches ont tenté de montrer l'influence de différents traits de personnalité, des croyances, ou encore, des attitudes face à la vie en général ou au travail en particulier. On en est ainsi venu à identifier comme plus vulnérables les personnes qui manifestent un sentiment d'impuissance face à ce qui leur arrive ou encore qui font preuve de trop d'obsession ou de compétitivité dans leur travail (Caplan et al, 1977 ;Kobasa et al, 1982 ;Lefcourt, 1983).…”

Dans les pays occidentaux, les problèmes de santé mentale sont en croissance et représentent l'une des principales causes de morbidité de la population, avec une prévalence annuelle qui varie de 15 à 25 %. Les conséquences de cette morbidité se font sentir de façon importante au chapitre de la capacité de travail des individus. Plusieurs éléments liés notamment à l'évolution de l'organisation et des conditions de travail au cours des dernières années incriminent le milieu de travail dans l'explication de l'origine de cette nouvelle « épidémie ». S'il y a une relative unanimité sur l'importance des problèmes de santé mentale au travail, il n'en va pas de même de la compréhension de l'origine de ces problèmes, et par voie de conséquence, des stratégies à mettre en oeuvre pour les contrer. De l'ensemble des recherches qui ont tenté d'expliquer ce phénomène, trois approches sont considérées de façon particulière : l'approche causaliste, l'approche cognitiviste et enfin, l'approche de la psychodynamique du travail. Même si l'approche cognitive permet de comprendre pourquoi certains facteurs de stress identifiés par l'approche eausaliste peuvent être pathogènes, elle apparaît un peu réductionniste en ramenant les problêmes de santé mentale au travail à l'échec des efforts d'adaptation des individus. Contrairement à l'interprétation cognitive et aux actions individuelles auxquelles nous conduit l'approche du stress, la psychodynamique du travail débouche sur un questionnement de l'intelligibilité de l'origine organisationnelle des problèmes de santé mentale au travail, en analysant l'interface dynamique et évolutive entre les objectifs que poursuivent l'individu, l'organisation et le groupe de travail.In western countries, mental health problems are increasing and represent one of the major causes of morbidity of the population with an annual prevalence varying from 15 to 25%. Consequences of this morbidity are more importantly felt on the working capacity of individuals. Several elements linked particularly to the evolution of the organization and working conditions in the course of the last years incriminate the workplace in explaining the origin of this new "epidemic". If there is a relative unanimity on the importance of mental health problems at work, it is not the case with the understanding of the origin of these problems and, consequently, of the strategies to put in place to counter them. Of the entire studies that have attempted to explain this phenomenon, three approaches are considered: the causalist approach, the cognitivist approach and finally, the psychodynamic approach. Even if the cognitivist approach allows to understand why some stress factors identified by the causalist approach can be pathogenic, it appears a bit reductionist by linking mental health problems at work with the failure of people's efforts of adaptation. Contrarily to the cognitivist interpretation and to individual actions which brings us to the approach to stress, the psychodynamic of work leads to a questioning of the intelligibili...
