  • Paramedic work inherently involves job-related resources-aspects functional for work achievement, motivating and stimulating personal development or reducing job demands-and hence leading to higher job engagement.

    “Paramedic work inherently involves job-related resources, that is, aspects that are functional for work achievement, motivating and stimulating personal development or reducing job demands [34] and, hence, leading to higher job engagement.”

    From Paramedics’ perceptions of job demands and resources in Finnish emergency medical services: a qualitative study (2022) · cites this paper as [34]

    The JD-R model overview (page unavailable) says every job includes resources, defines them as helping achieve work goals, reducing demands or supporting development, and links them to engagement. But it specifies that abundant resources foster engagement; it does not establish that the resources present in paramedic work are sufficient to produce higher engagement. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • The JD-R model provides clear directions for reducing burnout in organizations.

    “This model constitutes the best theory of job burnout so far, because it not only explains and predicts the occurrence of job burnout (Hakanen et al., 2008) but also provides clear directions for reducing burnout in organizations (see e.g., Schaufeli, 2017).”
  • The JD-R model is a validated theoretical model showing a pathway between job demands and resources to work-related stress, burnout and compassion fatigue and, inversely, positive and fulfilling engagement in work.

    “Developed by Demerouti and Bakker, the JD-R model is a validated theoretical model showing a pathway between job demands and resources to work-related stress, burnout and compassion fatigue [32] and, inversely, positive and fulfilling engagement in work [34, 35].”

  2. [2]2. A few year later, the extended JD-R model with engagement was published: Schaufeli, W.B. & Bakker, A.B. (2004). Job demands, job resources and their relationship with burnout and engagement: A multi-sample study. Jour- nal of Organizational Behavior, 25, 293-315. Both seminal papers haven been cited over 3500 times each (Google Scholar; May, 2016), which illustrates the popularity of the JD-R model among researchers. Still a few year later, personal resources were added to the model: Xanthopoulou, D., Bakker, A.B., Demerouti, E., & Schaufeli, W.B. (2009). Reciprocal relationships between job resources, personal resources and work engagement. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 74, 235-244. A conceptual overview can be found in: Bakker, A. & Demerouti, E. (2007), The Job Demands- Resources (JD-R) model: State of the art. Journal of Manage- rial Psychology, 22, 309-328.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
