Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between job conditions of teachers and wellness/health-related outcomes in a sample of 297 German secondary school teachers on the basis of the expanded Job Demand-Control-Support (JDCS) model. The data were collected in spring and summer 1999. The German data were compared with a European reference file (N = 1 884) as well as with an existing German norm group. A hierarchical regression shows job demands to be a relevant predictor for the health outcomes, while social support only predicts job satisfaction and single effects of control seem to be overwritten by more powerful predictors, especially physical exertion and meaningfulness of work. No significant interactions were found. It is concluded that additional job conditions not yet included in the JDCS model could add an important contribution and that different job conditions are predictive for different outcomes.
