“…According to the frame-of-reference theory, students' core self-evaluation in the process of growing up has an important relationship with the overall school environment and academic performance (Diotaiuti et al, 2021 ). The school's exercise environment is also closely related to students' core self-evaluation, and sports can significantly increase students' self-esteem and self-confidence (Graydon, 1997 ), and positively predicting self-efficacy, and increased recognition of one's own abilities, which to a certain extent helps to reduce excessive anxiety and worry about academics, and is conducive to reducing academic stress (Pujol-Cols and Lazzaro-Salazar, 2020 ). The explanatory role of cognition is more important in studies on sources of control.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the role of college students' core self-evaluation in the association between extracurricular physical exercise and academic stress, and to provide a reference and basis for effectively alleviating current college students' academic stress.MethodsA stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct an online survey using the China College Student Mental Health Screening Scale, the Core Self-Esteem Scale, and a self-developed questionnaire for 1,249 college students from 8 junior colleges in Jiangsu Province, China, in January 2023, and analyses were conducted using bivariate correlation and mediation effect tests.ResultsMore than half of the students were worried about lagging behind other students in their studies and worrying about exams, as well as more than half of the students had <2 h of extracurricular physical exercise per week in terms of academic stress. Significant correlations were found between extracurricular physical exercise time and core self-evaluation (r = 0.225, p < 0.01), academic stress (r = −0.317, p < 0.01), and between core self-evaluation and academic stress (r =−0.371, p < 0.01). Extracurricular physical exercise had a negative predictive effect on academic stress (effect = −0.306, 95%CI: −0.361~-0.251) and partially through the mediating path of core self-evaluation, (effect = −0.067, 95%CI: −0.091~-0.046), with a mediating effect of 21.9%. Among them, the mediating effect of core self-evaluation was highest in “worrying about lagging behind other students in their studies” and “worrying about exams”, which accounted for 24.4% and 24.3% respectively.ConclusionCurrently, college students have different degrees of academic stress; extracurricular physical exercise can reduce academic stress through direct effects, and also through the indirect effect of improving the level of core self-evaluation, and active extracurricular physical exercise has become an important way to promote students' physical and mental health.

“…In addition to the implications of work-related factors on mental health, previous studies have also reported significant associations between psychosocial risks and physical health symptoms (Pujol-Cols & Lazzaro-Salazar, 2020). For instance, Rocco et al (2017) found that individuals with low skill discretion, decision authority, and social support tended to report lower cardiovascular health in a large sample of 11,351 workers in Brazil.…”

Most systematic reviews of the relationships between work-related psychosocial risks, health, and performance have only considered papers in English, thus ignoring, to a considerable extent, studies conducted in Latin America. In addition, most systematic reviews that have indeed included Latin-American studies have focused on only one occupation and one kind of psychosocial risk, which contributes to producing scattered empirical evidence of this relationship. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive and critical systematic review of 85 studies that examined the relationships between psychosocial risks, health, and performance across a wide range of organizational contexts in Latin America over the last ten years. The paper contributes to the organizational psychology literature by critically reviewing and integrating the most recent studies on this topic in Latin America, identifying their main limitations, and proposing future lines of research that update the debate on this relationship and move this field of study forward.

“…Multiple studies have revealed that job stress negatively impacts the psychological health of employees (Pujol-Cols & Lazzaro-Salazar, 2020 ), leading to strain and tension. According to the coping theory, when a person receives a stressful input in the environment, he or she assesses the threat posed by stress as well as the resources available to assist him manage (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984 ).…”

There is no doubt that the Internet has made a positive impact on people's lives by enabling connectivity and access to a wealth of information. It has also given rise to cyberslacking behaviours in organisations which influence employees’ behaviours. However, sometimes cyberslacking may become a coping process that may be considered as a way to detach from a stress situation. Thus, cyberslacking rather than being viewed as counterproductive work behaviour may become a means to ‘de-stress’. The current work attempts to explore the relationship between job stress and cyberslacking and how this relationship is affected by mindfulness as a personal resource. To test the relationships, data were collected from employees working in the private sector using a standardised survey instrument. A total of 392 participants took part. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the interlinks and the result indicated that there was a significant positive association between job stress and cyberslacking, and mindfulness acted as a catalyst in mitigating the direct effects of job stress on employees' cyberslacking tendencies. In conclusion, mindful cyberslacking helps in coping with job stress amongst employees. The study is first amongst a few which represents cyberslacking as a coping mechanism for dealing with a stressful work environment. The outcomes provide significant implications for managing employees in digital workspace, and how mindfulness invokes the ability to regulate cyberslacking tendencies arising out of job stress leading to sustainable technology usage.
