This study investigated the impact of workload demands on perceived job risk using the Job Demand-Control model as a research framework.
The primary objective was to test the hypothesis that employee control over work scheduling and overtime would moderate the relationship between workload demands and perceived job risk.
Ninety-six participants working in a variety of industries completed measures of workload demands, and of control over work scheduling and overtime, and a measure of perceived job risk.
Workload demands predicted higher perceptions of job risk. However, the results also suggest that control over overtime moderated this relationship, where those with the combination of high workload demands and low control over overtime reported higher levels of perceived risk. The results indicate that the JDC model is applicable to safety research.
The results suggest that employee control over workload demands is an important variable to consider in terms of managing workplace safety. The present study also points to important areas for future research to explore in order to further understand the connection between demands and safety.
本研究以工作需求-控制模型作为研究框架，调查了工作负荷需求对感知工作风险的影响。
主要目的是检验以下假设，即员工对工作安排和加班的控制会调节工作负荷需求与感知工作风险之间的关系。
96名来自不同行业的参与者完成了工作负荷需求、工作安排和加班控制以及感知工作风险的测量。
工作负荷需求预示着更高的工作风险感知。然而，结果还表明，对加班的控制调节了这种关系，高工作负荷需求与低加班控制相结合的人报告的感知风险水平更高。结果表明，工作需求-控制模型适用于安全研究。
结果表明，员工对工作负荷需求的控制是管理工作场所安全时需要考虑的一个重要变量。本研究还指出了未来研究的重要领域，以便进一步理解需求与安全之间的联系。
