Peer reviewedScheck, Christine J.; And Others – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1997
One year after an organization was acquired, 218 employees were surveyed. Covariance structure analysis was used to assess the discriminant validity of stress factors. A distinction between instrumental and emotional social support was found. Results showed how stressors, social support, strain, and coping behaviors come together to influence…

Peer reviewedViswesvaran, Chockalingam; Sanchez, Juan I.; Fisher, Jeffrey – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1999
Study 1 analyzed 68 studies, identifying three constructs: workplace stressors, strains, and social support. In study 2, models of social support in the workplace were tested, finding that social support reduced strains, mitigated perceived stressors, and moderated the relationship between stressors and strain.

Direct linkBowling, Nathan A.; Beehr, Terry A.; Swader, William M. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2005
Social support is an important variable in occupational stress research and theory, yet little is know about the factors that influence the amount of social support one gives, and receives at work. We examined personality (extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness) and reciprocity as potential antecedents to giving and receiving support from…

Peer reviewedPayne, Roy; Fletcher, Ben C. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1983
Uses a model of stress which assumes that stress is a function of the balance of demands, supports, and job constraints to test a homogeneous professional group of teachers. Results show very modest support for the model, but confirm the percentage of variance accounted for by these measures is rather small. (Author/HLM)

Peer reviewedHolder, Judith C.; Vaux, Alan – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1998
A survey of 112 African-American professionals in predominantly White workplaces found that work- and race-related stressors independently influenced job satisfaction. Internal locus of control and collegial/supervisory support lessened stress. Nonwork social support did not buffer effects of race-related stressors. (SK)

Janssen, Peter P. M.; Peeters, Maria C. W.; de Jonge, Jan; Houkes, Inge; Tummers, Gladys E. R. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2004
This study among 115 US and 260 Dutch nurses and nurse assistants tested a theoretically derived model of specific relationships between work characteristics and two theoretically distinct outcomes (i.e., emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction). Furthermore, the mediating role of negative work-home interference (NWI) in this context was…

van Daalen, Geertje; Willemsen, Tineke M.; Sanders, Karin – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2006
The present study examines the relationship between four sources of social support (i.e., spouse, relatives and friends, supervisor, and colleagues) and time and strain-based work-to-family and family-to-work conflict among 444 dual-earners. Gender differences with respect to the relationship between social support and work-family conflict were…
