“…The effort-reward (ER) ratio, with effort as the numerator and reward as the denominator, quantifies the amount of ERI. A higher ER imbalance (ratio > 1.0) tends to be associated with work stress and burnout, work-life imbalance and quality of life [ 24 , 25 ]. Hammig et al [ 24 ] have investigated the relationships between ERI and work-life imbalance, and they found a positive association between ERI and work-life imbalance.…”

“…Hammig et al [ 24 ] have investigated the relationships between ERI and work-life imbalance, and they found a positive association between ERI and work-life imbalance. Tseng et al [ 25 ] examined the relationships between ERI and quality of life, and found a negative association with physical, mental components. Therefore, we used ERI as the variable of the management system to examine its relationship with QWL.…”

Background Quality of working life (QWL) is a highly important issue for nurses. Nurses with lower QWL tend to have lower job performance and intention to stay. The aim of this study was to apply a theoretical model to examine the structural relationships among overcommitment, effort-reward imbalance (ERI), safety climate, emotional labour and QWL for hospital nurses. Methods A cross-sectional study design and a simple random sampling method were used to recruit 295 nurses in a teaching hospital and used a structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Results Overall, the nurses’ QWL was moderate. Our theoretical model showed a good model fit. Overcommintment had a significant direct positive effect on ERI (β = 0.35, p < 0.001) and indirect effects on safety climate (β = -0.149, p = 0.001), emotional labour (β = 0.105, p = 0.001) and QWL (β = -0.061, p = 0.004). Additionally, ERI not only had significant direct effects on safety climate (β = -0.42, p < 0.001), emotional labour (β = 0.30, p < 0.001) and QWL (β = -0.17, p < 0.001) but also indirectly affected QWL through safety climate (β = -0.304, p = 0.001) and emotional labour (β = -0.042, p = 0.005). Both safety climate (β = 0.72, p < 0.001) and emotional labour (β = -0.14, p = 0.003) showed significant direct effects on QWL. Our final model accounted for 72% of the variance in QWL. Conclusion Our results highlight the necessity of improving the QWL of nurses. Policymakers and hospital administrators should develop policies and strategies that encourage nurses to exhibit an appropriate level of commitment, balance effort and reward, establish a climate of safety, and reduce emotional labour to improve the QWL of hospital nurses.

Although the threat of COVID-19 has dramatically diminished, its far-reaching impact on college students cannot be ignored. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of how life stress affects the mental health of college students in the post-epidemic era and the underlying mechanism, this study measured the life stress, core psychological capital, potential psychological capital, and mental health of 1497 college students in western China. The results show that life stress is essential in predicting college students' mental health; the core psychological capital and potential psychological capital mediated the relationship between life stress and mental health. These findings enrich the stress theory and reveal the mechanisms by which life stress hurts the mental health of college students, filling a gap in the previous literature. In practical application, this study provides important implications for school administrators to take adequate measures to improve college students' mental health.
