“…Recently, a great deal of research has been conducted on the importance of leisure activity in fatigue recovery (31)(32)(33). Moreover, findings from recent studies indicate that increased control of working time and/or days off plays a crucial role in improving workers' health (34).…”

“…Because increased job stress reinforces uncomfortable feelings, depletes self-regulatory energy to pursue desired goals and enhances potential negative consequences (e.g., job loss or health impairment) (e.g., Beehr & Newman, 1978;Sonnentag & Jelden, 2009), it will intensify the operation of BIS and deactivate the operation of BAS. Intensifying the operation of BIS will lead employees to be more neurotic, with emotional and behavioral syndromes, such as worrying and becoming easily irritated.…”

Based on the job demand-control model and Gray's biopsychological theory of personality, the author proposed a model to suggest that time demand and job control can drive changes in bigfive personality traits, especially neuroticism and extroversion, by shaping an individual's stress experiences at work. Five waves of data from 1,814 employees over a five-year period from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey were analyzed. Time demand, job control and job stress were measured in all five waves, and big-five personality was assessed in the first and last waves. The results showed that time demand and job control shaped job stress positively and negatively at a given time; and over time, an increase in time demand predicted an increase in job stress, which subsequently predicted an increase in neuroticism and a decrease in extroversion and conscientiousness. Results also showed that an increase in job control predicted an increase in agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness directly, but did not predict change in neuroticism and extroversion. Finally, the buffering effect of job control on the association between time demand and job stress was only observed in two of five waves and such buffering effect was not observed in a change process. The implications on personality development and work design research are discussed.

“…Exercising, however, also requires self-control, which tends to suffer under stress. Therefore, people should tend to exercise less when stressed, a situation which has, indeed, been found (14).…”

Berset M, Semmer NK, Elfering A, Jacobshagen N, Meier LL. Does stress at work make you gain weight? A twoyear longitudinal study. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2011;37(1):45-53.Objectives Research concerning the association between stress at work and body mass index (BMI) has mainly focused on two models (ie, job demand-control and effort-reward imbalance) as predictors and mostly been cross-sectional. The aim of our study is to extend previous research in two ways. First, social stressors -in the sense of social conflict and animosities at work -were included as an independent variable, arguing that they should be an especially promising predictor as they reflect a "social-evaluative threat". Second, a longitudinal design was employed with a two-year follow-up. In addition, the variables specified by the job demand-control model and the effort-reward imbalance model were assessed as well.Methods Participants comprised 72 employees (52 men, 20 women) from a Swiss service provider. Multiple regression analyses were used to predict BMI two years later with social stressors, effort-reward imbalance, demands, control, and the interaction of demands and control. Baseline BMI was controlled so that the dependent variable reflects the change in BMI over two years.Results Regression analyses revealed control and social stressors to be statistically significant predictors of follow-up BMI, while effort-reward imbalance was marginally significant. ConclusionsThe results underscore the importance of social stressors and job control as predictors of stressrelated impaired health.
