“…Our study supports the notion that exposure to job demands affects the level of employee burnout and depression over time. This is consistent with the findings in most Western countries (e.g., Hakanen & Schaufeli, ; Hakanen, Schaufeli & Ahola, ; Upadyaya, Vartiainen & Salmela‐Aro, ). However, we found that the process by which psychological detachment acts as a moderator against workplace demands might be complicated.…”

Muhamad Nasharudin, N. A., Idris, M. A., Loh, M. Y. & Tuckey, M. (2020). The role of psychological detachment in burnout and depression: A longitudinal study of Malaysian workers. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 61, 423-435.The current study aimed to examine the role of psychological detachment in the relationship between working conditions and burnout and depression. First, the study proposed that job demands would increase burnout after four months but not depression. Second, it proposed that psychological detachment would moderate the impact of job demands and job resources on burnout and depression. Third, it was proposed that the interaction between job demands, job resources and psychological detachment would predict burnout and depression. The longitudinal study design involved 345 workers (at both Time 1 and Time 2). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that increasing psychological detachment reduced the negative relationship between physical demands and depression four months later. In contrast, high psychological detachment increased the negative association between emotional resources and burnout, but not between emotional resources and depression. Overall, this study, in its discovery of the impact of working conditions on psychological health, has made a new contribution to psychological detachment studies by using different sub-constructs of job demands and job resources (i.e., emotional and physical) with four-month gaps, as previous studies did not address the impact within this time frame.

“…The importance of resilience as a "psychological capital" resource has already been confirmed by several authors (see e.g. Upadyaya et al, 2016), also in the police context (see e.g. Papazoglou and Andersen, 2014;Siu et al, 2015).…”

Purpose Sustainable employability is an important goal for individuals and organizations alike. However, scarce knowledge is available on possible cross-lagged relations of resilience among police officers and different aspects of their sustainable employability over time. Based on assumptions of COR theory, the purpose of this paper is to test these relations in a two-wave design. Design/methodology/approach A total of 532 police officers participated in a time-lagged survey design (time interval of six months) concerning their resilience and relevant aspects, i.e., self-reported vitality, workability and organization-reported individual absenteeism rates. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. Findings Results indicate cross-lagged effects between resilience and vitality with an acceptable model fit. Thus, the level of resilience at T1 affected the level of vitality at T2 and vice versa. In addition, a nearly significant negative effect of vitality on T1 was found on absenteeism on T2. Research limitations/implications More measurements over time are needed to test reciprocal relations and possible gain spirals. Different samples are needed to assess generalizability. Cross-lagged effects may indicate a reciprocal relation between resilience and vitality that can be further facilitated. Practical implications For example, resilience can be addressed explicitly in training. Originality/value This study is the first to test the cross-lagged relations between resilience and indicators of sustainable employability among police officers. It is important to further study this for the sake of both police officers, as well as society as a whole.

“…Klitzman and Stellman (1989) found no evidence of associations between workplace lighting conditions and job satisfaction among office workers. Similarly, other studies report null associations between level of job demand and distress and happiness among factory workers (Loscocco and Spitze 1990), human well-being (Bakker and Sanz-Vergel 2013), and work engagement (Bakker and Sanz-Vergel 2013;Upadyaya, Vartiainen, and Salmela-Aro 2016). Insignificant association between job autonomy and distress among female factory workers was found by Loscocco and Spitze (1990).…”

“…On the other hand, when conceptualized from the positive perspective, support from supervisors and coworkers (Spell, Eby, and Vandenberg 2014), organizational support (Eisenberger and Huntington 1986;Rhoades and Eisenberger 2002;Eisenberger 2003) and organizational climate and culture (Zohar and Hofmann 2012) were empirically confirmed to protect against negative effects of job burden. However, there are also some reports depicting lack of impact of psychosocial working conditions either on emotional well-being (Loscocco and Spitze 1990;Bakker and Sanz-Vergel 2013) or on work engagement (Bakker and Sanz-Vergel 2013;Upadyaya, Vartiainen, and Salmela-Aro 2016).…”

A growing body of research links working environment with employee health and well-being. We argue that greater employee well-being is associated with positive work outcomes, benefits likely vital to business performance. We have expanded the literature on this topic by evaluating these questions within a population of factory workers. To date, studies have examined well-being in the workplace in middle-and low-income countries mostly through the lens of disease and disability or have been restricted to human rights, rather than human well-being in general. This paper connects (1) job resources/work conditions and (2) worker well-being with (3) work outcomes in Mexican apparel factories belonging to the apparel supply chain. Our analysis builds on the first wave of the SHINE Worker Well-Being Survey. We examined links between working conditions, job resources, individual well-being and work outcomes using path analysis within a cross-sectional study comprising approximately 2200 Mexican factory workers. We report that job satisfaction and self-assessed work performance are positively and directly associated with worker well-being. We found that job control, trust, respect and recognition were significant correlates of all examined work outcomes (job satisfaction, work engagement and self-assessed work performance), with significant indirect effects on well-being.
