This document summarizes research on workplace stress. It outlines five learning outcomes related to understanding workplace stressors and their consequences. It then discusses the Job-Strain Model, which proposes that high workload and low job control are the two main causes of workplace stress. Several key studies are summarized that provide support for this model. Marmot et al. (1997) found low job control was linked to increased risk of heart disease. Johansson (1978) and Schaubroeck et al. (2001) also studied workplace stressors. Kivimaki et al. (2006) meta-analysis found employees with high job strain were 50% more likely to develop heart disease. The document also discusses issues like individual differences in
This document contains summaries of several topics related to industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology:
1. It discusses the importance of work in people's lives and how most people will continue working even if financially secure.
2. It covers the three major concentrations of I-O psychology: personnel psychology, organizational psychology, and human engineering/human factors psychology.
3. It describes I-O psychology's focus on applying scientific knowledge and research to address concrete workplace problems and issues using the scientist-practitioner model.
Industrial psychology aims to increase workplace productivity and employee well-being. It was established in the early 1900s and uses various research methods like experiments, surveys, and observations. Common psychology tests used in industrial settings include achievement, aptitude, attitude, intelligence, neuropsychological, occupational, and psychometric tests to evaluate employees.
Industrial and Organizational PsychologyApple Salva
The document summarizes the development of industrial/organizational psychology from 3 key events:
1. The work of industrial engineers in the late 19th century who used experimental psychology to redesign workplaces and match individuals to suitable jobs, exemplified by Frederick Taylor.
2. Experiments in 1927 at a Western Electric plant that showed how working conditions affect productivity and job performance, known as the Hawthorne effect.
3. The human relations movement of the mid-20th century, which found that social and motivational factors like friendship and a sense of achievement strongly influence job satisfaction as much as physical work conditions.
Industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology applies psychological principles to workplace issues like productivity and employee well-being. I/O psychologists use research methods to solve workplace problems and improve quality of life. They study topics like workplace productivity and management styles. I/O psychology differs from business fields by examining how psychological factors affect people in an organization rather than just organizational management issues. I/O psychologists rely on empirical research and statistics rather than clinical judgment.
A brief about the Hawthorne Experiments, its inferences and its legacy.
The presentation also contains the take-away from each experiment, and the kind of tasks where the learning from these studies can be applied.
It also includes a couple of points over which the Hawthorne studies have been criticized by sociologists.
The hawthorne experiments-roethlisberger1941jcpham
The Hawthorne experiments conducted in the 1920s and 1930s studied the effects of various factors on the productivity of workers at Western Electric's Hawthorne plant near Chicago. The experiments found that changes to lighting levels did not significantly impact productivity, but that social and psychological factors played a key role. One study of female relay assemblers found that productivity increased with the introduction of rest breaks, shorter hours, incentives and attention from researchers. The workers felt more satisfied and productive working in small groups where they could socialize. The experiments highlighted the importance of factors like workplace relationships, job satisfaction and group dynamics in motivating workers.
The Hawthorne experiments conducted between 1924-1932 at the Western Electric Company in Chicago studied the impact of various workplace factors on worker productivity. The first experiment tested different light intensity levels but found no clear relationship with output, prompting further study of social and psychological factors. Subsequent experiments manipulated incentives, work hours, breaks and supervision. Across studies, productivity generally increased in response to changes and attention, regardless of the specific changes, highlighting the importance of human relationships in the workplace.
6. efficacy of emotional freedom techniques abGillcrc
This document summarizes a review of studies examining the effectiveness of Energy Psychology techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) for reducing anxiety. The review included 14 studies with a total of 1358 participants. The studies examined EFT/TFT for reducing test anxiety, public speaking anxiety, dental anxiety, and general psychological distress. The review found that EFT/TFT significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety in the areas studied with moderate effect sizes. However, it noted limitations like varied methodological quality and the need for more research comparing active tapping to no-tapping controls. Overall, EFT/TFT appear to effectively reduce anxiety, but more high-quality research is still needed

The document discusses stress, its causes and effects. It begins by defining stress as a dynamic condition where an individual feels uncertain and important about an opportunity, constraint or demand related to their desires. Stress can be caused by both external events and one's reaction to those events. Prolonged or high levels of stress can negatively impact one's physical and mental health. The document then discusses various ways to manage and reduce stress.
Is is possible not to have stress at work place? If your answer is no, then you can emphasize occupational stress theories, occupational stress models, and tools to cope with occupational stress in this presentation. I wish all of you a stress-free job.
This document provides an overview of work stress and strategies for managing it. It discusses the history of research on occupational stress beginning in the 1970s. Key researchers who advanced understanding of stress and physiological responses like the fight-or-flight response are cited. Models for understanding sources of job stress and their health impacts are presented. The most and least stressful jobs are listed according to one study. Primary, secondary and tertiary approaches for preventing and intervening in work stress are defined with examples like exercise, relaxation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
This document summarizes a research study on the antecedents of job stress and its impact on job satisfaction. The study examines how factors like work overload, role ambiguity, and role conflict can lead to job stress. It also analyzes the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction, hypothesizing that job stress will have a negative impact on job satisfaction. A questionnaire was administered to 200 professionals across various fields to assess the relationships between the variables. The results found significant positive correlations between work overload, role conflict, and role ambiguity with job stress. Additionally, a significant negative correlation was found between job stress and job satisfaction.
This document summarizes a research article from the International Journal of Management that studied occupational stress among bank employees. The article reviewed 65 previous studies on bank employee stress published between 1971-2013. Key findings from the literature review include: common stressors for bank employees are work overload and poor working conditions; stress levels vary by years of experience, gender, and bank type (public vs. private); and stress is negatively correlated with job satisfaction and job performance. However, limitations of prior studies included small sample sizes and failure to consider all potential stressors like new technologies.
This document summarizes a research article from the International Journal of Management that studied occupational stress among bank employees. The article reviewed 65 previous studies from 1971 to the present on stress faced by banking sector workers. It found that banking jobs are highly stressful due to factors like increased work demands, time pressure, role conflicts, and changes in the banking industry from modernization and competition. Previous research showed stress levels in bankers vary by demographics, job role, work environment, and job satisfaction. The document calls for more future research to better understand stress faced by employees in the financial sector.
Presenting about stress and work well-being
The presentation is about stress and how to reduce and manage properly, also talking about the strategies to prevent bullying and other types of violence that occur in the workplace, including the topic about some hypotheses about frustration-aggression and justice.
This document summarizes a research study on the impact of organizational stress on employee morale among bank officers in Uttar Pradesh, India. The study surveyed entry-level and middle-level officers in public and private sector banks to measure their stress levels and how stress affects morale. The results revealed significant differences in stress levels between bank officers of different levels. Specifically, entry-level officers reported higher stress than middle-level officers, and private bank officers reported higher stress than public bank officers. Higher stress was found to negatively impact employee morale.
This document investigates the effects of role conflict, role ambiguity, and work-family conflict on employee job stress. It reviews previous literature on these relationships and develops hypotheses. A study was conducted of 118 employees of Iran's central insurance company using questionnaires. Structural equation modeling found that:
1) Role ambiguity significantly increases work-family conflict and job stress.
2) Role conflict significantly increases job stress but does not affect work-family conflict.
3) Work-family conflict significantly increases job stress.
The study confirms the relationships between these workplace factors and employee stress levels. Managing role clarity, role demands, and work-life balance can help reduce stress.
This document discusses stress in the workplace. It defines work stress as adverse reactions employees experience when job demands exceed their ability to cope. Common causes of work stress include poorly-organized work, changes at work, poor relationships, communication issues, lack of control, and repetitive or demanding tasks. The effects of stress vary between individuals based on skills, age, and other factors. Theories of stress view it either as a stimulus from external pressures or as the body's response to those pressures.
The document summarizes research on the influences of stress appraisals and coping on individual well-being and academic performance. It discusses transactional models of stress and different sources and types of stress appraisals, including stress as a hassle versus an uplift. The study examined how sources of stress, coping resources, and outcomes like psychological distress, anxiety levels, and academic performance are related based on questionnaires completed by 118 first-year undergraduate students. Results found relationships between stress appraisals, coping strategies, and outcomes, with implications for improving student well-being and performance through stress management training.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
1. Learning Outcomes (by the end of the lesson you will be able to:)
1.Outline research on workplace stressors
• Outline the investigation into the Job-Strain Model (Marmot et al 1997)
• Outline the Sawmill study (Johansson 1978)
• Outline the Saliva Study (Schaubroeck et al 2001)
2.Outline & evaluate work-overload, work-underload & low control
issues as stressors
3.Evaluate the methodology of studying stress including internal and
temporal validity issues
4.Evaluate the consequences of workplace stress
5.Describe real world applications of psychological research on
workplace stressors
Workplace Stress
2. What is Workplace Stress?
The Job-Strain Model
The Job-Strain Model proposes the workplace creates stress and
illness in two ways:
1. High Workload
(Creating greater job
demands)
1. High Workload
(Creating greater job
demands)
2. Low Job Control
(eg over deadlines,
procedures, etc)
2. Low Job Control
(eg over deadlines,
procedures, etc)
In pairs, identify stressors for both types of job-strain
3. Research on Workplace Stressors (A01)
Marmot et al (1997)
Marmot et al (1997) investigated the job-strain model of workplace
stress on 7372 Civil Servants in London and proposed that:
1. High Workload
High-grade employees
1. High Workload
High-grade employees
2. Low Job Control
Low grade employees
2. Low Job Control
Low grade employees
So Marmot et al (1997) predicted :
1. Both groups would experience stress for different reasons.
2. Stressed employees would show signs of cardiovascular disease.
Methodology – Write an operationalised, directional, experimental
hypothesis for BOTH types of job strain. (Write 2 hypotheses.)
4. Research on Workplace Stressors (A01)
Marmot et al (1997) continued
Experimental Method –
•Participants answered a questionnaire on
workload, job control and amount of social
support.
•Researchers also obtained an independent
assessment of workload and control by checking
job specs & role responsibilities with personnel
management.
5. FINDINGS: 5 years after the initial assessment they found:
Research on Workplace Stressors (A01)
Marmot et al (1997) continued
1. People with low levels of job control were more likely
to have developed heart disease than were those who
had reported high levels of job control.
2. The association did not appear to be linked to
employment grade. High demand jobs (i.e. being a
boss) are not linked to stress related CHD
3. The association could NOT be explained in terms of
other risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity or
degree of social support.
So what was the CRITICAL factor in determining the onset of
heart disease?

7. Consequences of Workplace Stress (A02)
Research Support on Harmful effects of work stress – Kivimaki
et al (2006) Meta Analysis
• Kivimaki et al (2006) carried out a meta-analysis of 14
studies looking at the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
in association with work stress.
• 83 000 employees across Europe, the US and Japan.
• Found employees with high levels of job strain were 50%
more likely to develop CHD.
Write a directional hypothesis for this meta analysis
Tell the person next to you a biological reason that
those experiencing workplace stress are more likely to
show signs of CHD than those who don’t.
(HPA or SAM pathways – use one each)
8. Consequences of Workplace Stress (A02)
Work Underload – Shultz et al (2010)
• Most research focuses on work overload or having too many job
demands.
• Work underload = employed in jobs that are beneath their
capacities or where they are given tasks that are lacking in any
creativity or stimulation.
• Shultz et al (2010) – data from 16 000 adult employees across 15
European countries.
• Work overload had the highest levels of stress-related illness.
• However, those who reported work underload also reported low
job satisfaction and significant levels of absence due to stress-
related illness.
• Read the article on S14 & answer the questions in pairs.
9. Problems with the Study of Workplace Stress (A02)
The impact of Workplace Stressors –
Individual Differences in ‘Hardiness’ Lazarus (1995)
Lazarus (1995) suggests that
there are individual differences in
the way people react to and
cope with individual stressors.
Lazarus’s Transactional
Approach emphasises the
degree the thing is perceived
as a stressor depends on
person’s perceived ability to
cope.
Therefore high job demands and
role ambiguity may be perceived
as stressful to one person but
not another, particularly those
high in HARDINESS.

screened
for
‘Hardiness’
10. Problems with the Study of Workplace Stress (A02)
What is ‘Hardiness’?
Control – Hardy people see themselves as being in control of
their lives, rather than being controlled by external factors
beyond their control.
Commitment – Hardy people are involved with the world
around them, and have a strong sense of purpose.
Challenge – hardy people see life challenges as problems to
be overcome rather than as threats or stressors. They enjoy
change as an opportunity for development.
How Hardy are you? Test yourself. Use S15.
11. Problems with the Study of Workplace Stress (A02)
The Evolution of Work & Work Stressors
Temporal Validity Issues
• The changing nature of the work environment, with the advent of
new technology, virtual offices and the blurring of home/work
environments means that our current knowledge of workplace
stressors rapidly becomes out of date.
• As the ultimate purpose of research in this area is to help people
manage the stresses of their working day, psychological research
may inevitably lag behind actual work practices.
12. Problems with the Study of Workplace Stress (A02)
Questionnaires as a research tool
Internal Validity Issues
• Most studies use questionnaires (self report) – Identify the issues.
• Dewe (1989) - questioned the use of traditional questionnaires as
they may distort the importance of some items that may no longer
be important while ignoring others that are (temporal validity)
• Keenan & Newton (1989) – study of engineers.
Interviews instead of Questionnaires & revealed stressors not usually
covered by traditional Questionnaires eg time-wasting job demands
and interpersonal conflicts.
• Role conflict and ambiguity which are usually included in
Questionnaires were seldom mentioned as significant stressors.
• Interviews therefore may offer a more valid way of assessing the
impact of workplace stressors than traditional Questionnaires.
13. Real World Applications (A02)
Ritvanen et al (2007) Teacher’s Fitness Study
Research on workplace stress
has led to suggestions about
how to deal with its negative
consequences.
Ritvanden et al (2007) studied
whether aerobic fitness could
reduce the physiological stress
responses teachers experienced
during working hours.
26 male and female teachers.
Exercise tests, measurement of
physiological responses
(Identify!) as well as level of
perceived stress.
Results – teachers with the
highest levels of aerobic fitness
had lower levels of heart rate,
muscle tension and perceived
stress.
14. Group Work
1. Discuss research into the effects of workload on workplace
stress (8 marks)
2. Discuss research into the effects of control on workplace stress
(8 marks)
3. Discuss research into workplace stress (12 marks)
15. • Identify which A01 and A02/A03 material you want to use.
• You are going to create a short video that can be done in any way
you want. You don’t have to be on camera, you could film a mind
map or pictures while you narrate the studies and findings.
• If you’re feeling brave, then go for it and be the star of the show.
• You can be as creative as you like – eg you could role-play a study
to make it more memorable.
• Peg each of the studies to the names of the researchers and
include this in your video.
• Use the question as your video title.
• Make sure everyone saves a copy of the video so you can use it as
part of your revision strategies.
Group Work
Editor's Notes
High work load – not enough time.
Don’t have the intellect
IV – workload or job control
DV – signs of Cardiovascular disease
Employees who have a high workload will show more signs of CHD than employees with a low workload.
Employees who have low job control will show more signs of CHD than employees high job control.
Questions to the learners about the issues of self-report questionnaires.
Why might social desirability happen?
What about forgetting?
What type of validity does a questionnaire lack?
Critical factor in determining the onset of heart disease, therefore, was the level of control regardless of the grade of job.
