Abstract

The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model postulates that job demands and job resources constitute two processes: the health impairment process, leading to negative outcomes, and the motivational process, leading to positive outcomes.The aim of the study was to verify the health impairment process.Specifically, the study investigated the direct and the indirect (mediated via job burnout) effects of job demands on mental and physical health.Three kinds of job demands were considered, i.e. interpersonal conflicts at work, organizational constraints and workload.Data was collected among 625 police officers.The regression analysis -using the PROCESS macros of Hayes -was applied.Two of the three job demands were associated with mental and physical health directly or indirectly.The results partially support the Job Demands-Resources model.

  • Factors related to social interactions were the most studied burnout factors in police officers.

    “Factors related with social interactions were the most studied burnout factors in police officers (Backteman-Erlanson et al., 2013; Baka, 2015; BaruchFeldman et al., 2002; Bawa and Kaur, 2011; Beltran et al., 2009; Brady, 2017; Farf ´ an et al., 2019; Fyhn et al., 2016; Garbarino et al., 2013; Hu et al., 2016; Kula, 2017; Kumar and Kamalanabhan, 2017; Martinussen et al., 2007; Padyab et al., 2016;”

    The Job Demands and Poor Health section identifies interpersonal conflict as one of three job demands examined in police officers, and the Discussion links it to burnout. Neither section says that social-interaction factors were the most studied burnout factors; the Discussion compares the strength of associations, not how often factors have been studied. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Unreasonable work group is related to higher burnout levels in police officers.

    “It was also described that conflicts in the workplace and unreasonable work group were related to higher burnout levels (Baka, 2015; Bawa and Kaur, 2011; Martinussen et al., 2007; Richardsen et al., 2006).”

    The Discussion reports that interpersonal conflict at work and organizational constraints were connected with job burnout in police officers. However, the paper does not identify or measure an “unreasonable work group” as a distinct factor, so that part of the paraphrase is not established by this source. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Job-related stress characterized by hassles, pressures, and organisational constraints is consistently related to higher burnout.

    “Overall, job-related stress characterized by an array of hassles, pressures, and organisational constraints was consistently related to higher burnout in six studies (Baka, 2015; Bawa and Kaur, 2011; Kepple, 2018; Kula, 2017; Medina, 2007; Mostert and Rothmann, 2006).”

  • Heavy workload is a risk factor for burnout.

    “Heavy workload was a risk factor for burnout in nine studies (Backteman-Erlanson et al., 2013; Baka, 2015; Bawa and Kaur, 2011; Burke and Mikkelsen, 2006; Garbarino et al., 2013; Hu et al., 2016; Kumar and Kamalanabhan, 2017; Padyab et al., 2016; Smoktu­ nowicz et al., 2015).”

B a k a Súhrn: Model pracovných nárokov-zdrojov (JD-R) predpokladá, že pracovné nároky a pracovné zdroje tvoria dva procesy: proces zhoršenia zdravia, ktorý má negatívny dopad a motivačný proces, ktorý má pozitívny dopad. Cieľom štúdie bolo overenie procesu zhoršenia zdravia. Štúdia konkrétne skúmala priamy a nepriamy (sprostredkovaný prostredníctvom pracovného vyhorenia) vplyv pracovných nárok ov na duševné a telesné zdravie. Použili sme tri druhy pracovných nárokov, t.j. medziľudské konflikty v práci, organizačné obmedzenia a pracovné za ťaženie. Výskumnú vzorku tvorilo 625 policajtov. Použili sme regresnú analýzu -Hayesove makrá PRO- CESS. Dva z troch pracovných nárokov sa priamo alebo nepriamo spájali s duševným a telesným zdravím. Výsledky čiastočne potvrdzujú model pracovných nárokov-zdrojov. · DOI

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.
