BACKGROUND The job demand-control-social support model has been widely studied in western countries but has not been theoretically addressed on health workers of sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between Job Demand-Control-Support Model and job satisfaction in specialized teaching hospitals in Ethiopia. METHOD A cross-sectional survey was condu...

background: workplace stress is known to be related with many behavioral and disease outcomes. however, little is known about its prospective relationship with measures of cognitive decline. objective: to investigate the association of job strain, psychological demands and job control on cognitive decline. methods: participants from framingham offspring cohort (n=1429), were assessed on job str...

BACKGROUND Supportive studies of the demand-control (DC) model were more likely to measure specific demands combined with a corresponding aspect of control. PURPOSE A longitudinal test of Karasek's (Adm Sci Q. 24:285-308, 1) job strain hypothesis including specific measures of job demands and job control, and both self-report and objectively recorded well-being. METHOD Job strain hypothesis...

Job strain is a risk factor for hypertension, but it is not fully understood if components of job strain, or job demand or job control per se could be related to blood pressure (BP), and if so, whether the relationship differs between normotension and mildly elevated BP. We examined resting BP, and job stress components in 113 Japanese male hospital clerks (38.1 ± 4.4 yr). Subjects were classif...

We assessed whether job demand and job control have independent effects on psychological symptoms or whether job control modifies effect of job demand; we also assessed whether rank modified associations between job strain and psychological symptoms. We used the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist (PCL-C), General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), Chalder Fatigue Scale, a checklist ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of psychosocial nature of previous work activity on different dimensions of subjective health and life satisfaction at the beginning of older age. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cross-sectional study was performed on a simple random sample of a 65-year-old cohort of community-dwelling citizens of Kraków. All of the 733 participants (412...

In this paper, we present Slack Stealing Job Admission Control (SSJAC)|a methodology for scheduling periodic rm-deadline tasks with variable resource requirements, subject to controllable Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. In a system that uses Rate Monotonic Scheduling, SSJAC augments the slack stealing algorithm of Thuel et al with an admission control policy to manage the variability in t...

In [5] we showed that every loop isotopic to an F-quasigroup is a Moufang loop. Here we characterize, via two simple identities, the class of F-quasigroups which are isotopic to groups. We call these quasigroups FGquasigroups. We show that FG-quasigroups are linear over groups. We then use this fact to describe their structure. This gives us, for instance, a complete description of the simple F...
