Overall, health-related correlates of job demands and job resources are well-known. However, in today's working life, personal resources are considered to be of increasing importance. Beyond general mental ability, knowledge regarding personal resources remains limited. This is particularly so among women working in the welfare sector, a sector mainly employing women and with the work typically involving clients.
This study investigated the importance of job demands, job resources, and personal resources for health-related outcomes, as well as the mitigating effects of resources, among women working within the Swedish welfare sector.
Self-reports from 372 women employed within the welfare sector were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression.
Overall, increasing job demands were associated with poorer health outcomes while increasing job resources and personal resources were associated with better health. Additionally, lower control aggravated the effects of quantitative job demands on health outcomes while lower feedback mitigated the effect of qualitative demands. However, personal resources had no moderating effect.
Job resources seem more pertinent to health than personal resources, at least among women working within the welfare sector in Sweden.
总体而言，工作要求和工作资源与健康的相关性已广为人知。然而，在当今的工作生活中，个人资源被认为愈发重要。除了一般智力外，关于个人资源的知识仍然有限。在福利部门工作的女性中尤其如此，该部门主要雇佣女性，且工作通常涉及客户。
本研究调查了工作要求、工作资源和个人资源对瑞典福利部门女性健康相关结果的重要性，以及资源的缓解作用。
使用分层多元回归分析了372名福利部门女性的自我报告。
总体而言，工作要求增加与较差的健康结果相关，而工作资源和个人资源增加与较好的健康相关。此外，较低的控制加剧了定量工作要求对健康结果的影响，而较低的反馈减轻了定性要求的影响。然而，个人资源没有调节作用。
至少在瑞典福利部门工作的女性中，工作资源似乎比个人资源与健康更相关。
