The study aims to provide valuable insights into the well-being of employees, enabling the identification of potential hazards, the creation of effective stress management interventions, and the improvement of job design. By taking a holistic approach, we seek to retain talented staff, reduce healthcare costs, increase productivity, and foster continuous development in the workplace.
Our study highlights the importance of Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) in influencing the well-being and safety of workers. We investigate its association with lower levels of effort and emotional demands, higher levels of reward, and a positive physical work environment. PSC is a precursor to job demands and resources, moderating the impact of job demands on psychological health.
Job demands, resources, and safety climate significantly impact workplace physical and psychosocial safety behaviour. High-stress levels lead to lower productivity, underscoring the need for proactive measures to ensure employees are not unnecessarily exposed to stress. Addressing workplace stress involves examining the complex interrelationships between psychosocial factors, job demands, job resources, psychological well-being, work outcomes, and cortisol regulation.
