“…While a positive relationship between ERI ratio and perceived stress as well as a negative relationship between ERI ratio and work engagement was found as hypothesized, the models using the three single scales showed higher goodness-of-fit measures for both outcome variables rather than the model including ERI ratio only. In general, the found relationships are supported by other studies (e.g., Waszkowska et al, 2017 ; Ge et al, 2021 ; Kamal et al, 2022 ). However, further investigations need to take place in regard to the outcome variable work engagement as Wang et al (2017) could also show positive correlations of ERI ratio with work engagement (i.e., vigor, dedication, and absorption).…”

IntroductionA doctorate is associated with numerous challenges for many PhD students, including financial insecurities, little support from supervisors, and time pressure. The present study explores well-being of PhD students via the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model as well as the potential protective factor resilience.MethodA web-based questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,275 PhD students from Germany. Data was collected at two measurement points over a six-week follow-up period.ResultsAs hypothesized, overcommitment was found to mediate the relationship between ERI and perceived stress while no mediation effect was found for work engagement. Resilience strengthened the relationship between ERI and overcommitment, especially for an increasing unfavorable ERI, and counterintuitively did not act as a protective factor.DiscussionTheoretical and practical implications are discussed, providing a deeper understanding on the ERI model and the negative coping pattern overcommitment in the context of PhD students.
