          Abstract

          Esta investigación identificó la prevalencia de factores psicosociales laborales (FPL), medidos con el JCQ (Job Content Questionnaire) y el ERI (Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire), en profesores escolares de colegios privados en Bogotá; se evaluó la relación entre estos FPL con salud mental y presión arterial. El estudio fue transversal y correlacional. 251 maestros contestaron los cuestionarios JCQ y ERI y el Cuestionario General de Salud de Goldberg. La presión arterial se midió usando monitores digitales de muñeca. La participación fue voluntaria y anónima. Los resultados mostraron relaciones significativas entre la tensión laboral y el desbalance esfuerzo-recompensa con la salud mental pero no con la presión arterial en el grupo completo. Los análisis separados entre hombres y mujeres señalaron algunas relaciones significativas. Los resultados confirman una asociación entre FPL negativos en el contexto laboral de los maestros y su salud mental.

          The aims of this research was to identify the prevalence of the psychosocial factors at work, measured with the JCQ (Job Content Questionnaire) and ERI (Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire), in school teachers of Bogotá, and evaluate the relationship of this factors with mental health and blood pressure. This research was crossectional and correlational. A sample of 251 teachers answered the JCQ, the ERI and the General Health Questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured with digital wrist monitors. The participation was voluntary and anonymous. Results showed significant relationships between job strain and effort-reward imbalance with mental health but not with blood pressure for the total group. The results confirm the association between negative psychosocial factor at work with the mental health of school teachers, but not with the blood pressure for all the teachers.

            The measurement of effort-reward imbalance at work: European comparisons.

            Using comparative data from five countries, this study investigates the psychometric properties of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work model. In this model, chronic work-related stress is identified as non-reciprocity or imbalance between high efforts spent and low rewards received. Health-adverse effects of this imbalance were documented in several prospective and cross-sectional investigations. The internal consistency, discriminant validity and factorial structure of 'effort', 'reward', and 'overcommitment' scales are evaluated, using confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, content (or external) validity is explored with respect to a measure of self-reported health. Data for the analysis is derived from epidemiologic studies conducted in five European countries: the Somstress Study (Belgium; n = 3796), the GAZEL-Cohort Study (France; n = 10,174), the WOLF-Norrland Study (Sweden; n = 960), the Whitehall II Study (UK; n = 3697) and the Public Transport Employees Study (Germany; n = 316). Internal consistency of the scales was satisfactory in all samples, and the factorial structure of the scales was consistently confirmed (all goodness of fit measures were > 0.92). Moreover, in 12 of 14 analyses, significantly elevated odds ratios of poor health were observed in employees scoring high on the ERI scales. In conclusion, a psychometrically well-justified measure of work-related stress (ERI) grounded in sociological theory is available for comparative socioepidemiologic investigations. In the light of the importance of work for adult health such investigations are crucial in advanced societies within and beyond Europe.

              The Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ): an instrument for internationally comparative assessments of psychosocial job characteristics.

              Part I discusses the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), designed to measure scales assessing psychological demands, decision latitude, social support, physical demands, and job insecurity. Part II describes the reliability of the JCQ scales in a cross-national context using 10,288 men and 6,313 women from 6 studies conducted in 4 countries. Substantial similarity in means, standard deviations, and correlations among the scales, and in correlations between scales and demographic variables, is found for both men and women in all studies. Reliability is good for most scales. Results suggest that psychological job characteristics are more similar across national boundaries than across occupations.
