Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the accumulation of work stressors in health and social services work units relates to psychological distress (PD) among employees, rather than focusing on individual stressors.
- A survey of 813 work units with over 9,500 employees showed that those with high job demands and low rewards significantly increased the risk of PD.
- The research suggests that enhancing workplace social capital might help mitigate the negative effects of job stressors, indicating a need for more organizational-level interventions to address stressors collectively.
