“…In a study of ERI among municipal solid waste workers in Taiwan, with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders, the prevalence of upper back and hand/wrist disorders was consistently associated with an ERI equal to or greater than one. Even after adjusting for age, education, marital status, and job title, upper back and hand/wrist disorders were significantly higher for the ERI equal to or greater than one group [ 24 ]. This suggests that an ERI greater than or equal to one among waste workers—including our study population—has repercussions beyond perceptions of unfairness, such as musculoskeletal disorders, which are known to be impacted psychosocial factors [ 7 , 25 ], as found by Lin and colleagues in the sample of Taiwanese solid waste workers [ 24 ].…”

Background: Solid waste workers are exposed to a plethora of occupational hazards and may also experience work-related stress. Our study had three specific hypotheses: (1) waste workers experience effort–reward imbalance (ERI) with high self-reported effort but low reward, (2) unionized workers experience greater ERI, and (3) workers with higher income have lower ERI. Methods: Waste workers from three solid waste sites in Michigan participated in this cross-sectional study. We characterized perceived work stress using the short-version ERI questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and linear tests for trend were assessed for each scale. Linear regression models were constructed to examine the relationship between structural factors of work stress and ERI. Gradient-boosted regression trees evaluated which factors of effort or reward best characterize workers’ stress. Results: Among 68 participants, 37% of workers reported high effort and low reward from work (ERI > 1). Constant pressure due to heavy workload was most indicative of ERI among the solid waste workers. Union workers experienced 79% times higher ERI than non-unionized workers, while no significant differences were observed by income, after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions: Organizational-level interventions, such as changes related to workload, consideration of fair compensation, and increased support from supervisors, can decrease work stress.

“…Ideally, effort and reward are always directly proportional, but this is still difficult to realize and tends to deviate. This situation is called effort-reward imbalance (Lin et al, 2022;Soomro et al, 2021).…”

This paper is motivated by the increasing number of nurse turnover at Bahteramas Hospital over the past 3 years. This incident is caused by factors that cannot be explained. In addition, there are inconsistencies in the findings of previous studies in the effect of effort-reward imbalance on turnover intention where one researcher and another researcher did not reach the same conclusion. This study will examine the model of the effect of effort-reward imbalance on turnover intention by presenting burnout and work stress as mediation. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model to analyze the effect of effort-reward imbalance on turnover intention mediated by burnout and work stress. The study was conducted with a quantitative approach and descriptive design utilizing the conservation of resources (COR) theory paradigm which is proven to be able to overshadow all research constructs. The respondents of the study were contract nurses at the Bahteramas Regional General Hospital in Kendari City, while data collection was carried out with digital instruments in the form of a google form that was distributed and managed to collect a sample of 125 respondents using the Slovin formula which was drawn by simple random sampling. The measurement scale is an ordinal scale. The analysis techniques in this study are descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis with the help of AMOS software.The results of the study proved that mediating variables in the form of burnout and work stress were the main triggers that caused turnover intention in contract nurses at the Bahteramas Regional General Hospital in Kendari City. The implications of this study can be used by hospital management to reduce burnout and work stress of contract nurses so that the presence of turnover intention can be avoided.

“…Terdapat 42,9% responden mengalami nyeri pada otot pinggang [15]. Keluhan punggung atas dan gangguan pergelangan tangan bawah masing-masing 6% dan 51% [29], dan 16,09% responden pada lokasi lain juga mengalami gangguan otot rangka [18]. Sakit yang diderita sebagian disebabkan oleh aktivitas menarik atau mengangkat beban mekanis dengan beban yang melebihi kemampuan sesuai standar ketentuan ILO.…”

Pengumpulan dan pengangkutan sampah adalah jenis pekerjaan dengan risiko terhadap gangguan kesehatan berupa penyakit yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan karena terpapar sumber penyakit yang terkandung dalam sampah melalui kontak dengan pekerja. Literatur review ini dilakukan untuk mendeskripsikan masalah gangguan kesehatan apa saja yang berpotensi diakibatkan oleh aktivitas pekerjaan pengumpulan dan pengangkutan sampah serta rekomendasi pengendaliannya. Metode pencarian literature dengan Google Scholar, Proquest, Science Direct, dan Situs pencarian jurnal Universitas Indonesia didapatkan beberapa artikel dan dipilih sebanyak 24 (dua puluh empat) penelitian yang relevan. Masalah kesehatan yang dialami pekerja pengumpulan dan pengangkutan sampah antara lain gangguan kesehatan kulit, peningkatan kasus diare & gangguan gastrointestinal, gangguan otot rangka, gangguan saluran pernapasan, hepatitis A, dan infeksi parasit. Upaya yang perlu dilakukan adalah dengan berpedoman pada hirarki pengendalian dari mulai tahapan substitusi, pengendalian teknis, pengendalian administrasi, menyediakan alat pelindung diri yang sesuai standard, dan meningkatkan pemahaman pekerja mengenai pentingnya disiplin penggunaan APD, dan menjaga kebersihan pribadi.
