“…Communication and management support were also sources of dissatisfaction, and almost 40% indicated lack of competent leadership by top management. Another report on working hours among faculty working in Norwegian universities and university colleges indicated long working hours (46.7 hr/week) and dissatisfaction with the time allocated to do research (Egeland & Bergene, 2012). These reports suggest some existing job demands among Norwegian academics, but there are no studies that have looked at the relationship of such demands to individual health and well-being and important organizational outcomes in Norway.…”

Few studies have looked at the relationship of job characteristics and worker well-being among Norwegian academics. The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job demands, job resources, burnout, and engagement among Norwegian university staff. In total, 236 staff from one university in Norway answered the questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses identified job demands as the most important predictors for burnout. Autonomy was the most important job resource in the prediction of engagement and burnout. What constitutes a job resource or a job demand varies from occupation to occupation. The present study adds to the existing literature by examining factors that may protect or harm the individual workers’ health and well-being in a Norwegian university context.
