“…Besides, by causing depression symptoms among employees (Anbazhagan et al, 2016), occupational stress may reduce employees' job satisfaction as well as increase their intention to quit and trigger emotional and professional burnout. In this regard, occupational stress has the potential to adversely affect mental health and contribute to the development of mental health issues and common mental disorders, largely as a result of its detrimental impact on job performance and job satisfaction (Stansfeld and Candy, 2006;Mamom et al, 2023).…”

Employees may experience stress in the workplace for various reasons. Psychological strengths may help them to cope with emerging challenges and foster mental health and work productivity. This study examined the mediating roles of meaning in life and psychological flexibility in the relationships between perceived occupational stress and job satisfaction, job performance and psychological distress. This cross-section study included 554 teachers (56.0% males; Mage = 36.99 ± 7.88 years) at all school levels in Türkiye. The research data was collected through a convenience sampling method using an online survey. Participants completed self-report measures of meaning in life, psychological flexibility, perceived occupational stress, job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Pearson product–moment correlation and parallel mediation model using PROCESS macro (Model 4) were utilized to analyze the data. The results showed that perceived occupational stress had a significant effect on meaning in life, psychological flexibility, job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Also, meaning in life and psychological flexibility had significant effects on job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. Furthermore, meaning in life and psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationships between occupational stress and job satisfaction, job performance, and psychological distress. These findings highlight the significance of considering meaning in life and psychological flexibility as crucial factors in mitigating the impact of occupational stress on employee mental health and work productivity. By focusing on enhancing employees’ sense of meaning and their ability to adapt flexibly to workplace challenges, organizations can potentially create a better environment that fosters positive outcomes for both employees and the organization. However, the impact of occupational stress on job performance, job satisfaction and psychological distress may change over time. To address this concern, future research should test the model through a longitudinal study design.

Workplace stress is a growing concern, with serious implications for employee well-being and organizational performance. This study examines the impact of various workplace interventions on employees' ability to manage stress, such as health awareness programs, vacation and holiday trips, job redesign, recreation center access, and social support systems. This study used a cross-sectional research design; data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using logistic regression. The results reveal that health awareness programs and access to recreation centers significantly improve employees' stress management. Job redesign showed a marginally significant effect, while vacation trips and social support systems did not significantly influence stress management. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions in supporting employees' mental health and reducing stress, particularly through health awareness initiatives and access to recreational facilities. Organizations should focus on these strategies while further exploring the potential benefits of job redesign and the quality of vacation policies.
