Gender-specific perception of job stressors and resources: a structural equation model-based secondary analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Stress is an extensive issue in modern society, affecting men and women differently. A better understanding of these patterns is required within the work context. Therefore, this study aimed to identify gender differences in the effects of stressors (quantitative demands, qualitative demands, working time) and resources (job control, quality of leadership, co-worker support) on subjective perceived stress across occupational groups.

Methods

This study was conducted as a secondary data analysis based on the 'German Study on Mental Health at Work' data. The national representative cross-sectional sample included 4,118 employees. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Results

Correlations between quantitative demands, working time, co-worker
