The correlation between workers' working pressure and physical and mental health analyzed by the job demand-resource stress model.

Abstract

Under the background of the information society, teachers' pressure from work and life is increasing. Meanwhile, the working pressure has a potential inevitable connection with the physical and mental health of teachers. To analyze the correlation between working pressure of workers and mental health status, expand the application of the job demand-resource stress (JD-RS) model in the adjustment of working characteristic pressure, and achieve the coordinated development between working pressure and mental health. The occupation of the teacher is taken as the research object. First, the pressure source questionnaire and Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) are chosen to measure the working pressure and mental health. Also, the reliability and validity of the pressure source questionnaire are tested. Second, the gender, duty, teaching age, and workload of teachers are chosen as the foundation for comparing and analyzing the impact of various dimensions and project factors on teachers' working pressure and mental health. Finally, based on the method of univariate linear regression analysis, the correlation between teachers' working pressure and mental health is analyzed and characterized. The measurement tool based on the pressure source questionnaire has good performance reliability and validity. The five dimensions of Cronbach's coefficients are all greater than 0.8, and the indicators of fitting all meet psychometrics requirements. Significance analysis shows that different genders, duties, teaching ages, and workloads have different levels of significant influence on teachers' working pressure and mental health. Linear regression analysis shows that teachers' working pressure has a significant impact on their physical and mental health, which has a predictive effect. Teachers who bear high-intensity pressure have psychological problems. The research based on the JD-RS model has a positive role in promoting the balanced and coordinated development of working pressure and the physical and mental health of employed workers.
