Summary: This study examines the impact of job demands on police officers' stress responses, the moderating effect of job autonomy, and the mediating effect of basic psychological needs. The findings suggest that job demands increase stress responses among police officers, and job autonomy enhances this impact rather than serving as a buffer. Additionally, job demands can partially reduce stress responses through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between job demands and exhaustion among Polish healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and found that quantitative demands and demands for hiding emotions were associated with high exhaustion. Leadership resources, particularly trust in management, were found to buffer the negative impact of job demands on exhaustion. Additionally, the interaction between leadership resources neutralized the effects of quantitative demands, resulting in lower levels of exhaustion in healthcare workers who had high levels of both resources measured one year earlier.

Summary: In recent years, the development of tobacco control actions and changes in people's health concepts have had a slowing effect on the tobacco industry in China. Tobacco retailers, as strategic partners of tobacco sales companies, play a crucial role as the link between tobacco commercial enterprises and consumers. Improving the work engagement of tobacco retailers has become an urgent issue for tobacco businesses. This study investigated the mechanisms of the impact of job resources and demands on the work engagement of tobacco retailers based on the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory. The findings showed that job demands had a negative impact on work engagement, while job resources had a positive impact, with job crafting playing a mediating role in both. Servant leadership was found to moderate the influence of job resources and demands on job crafting. Additionally, servant leadership was found to moderate the mediating effect of job crafting on work engagement. This study contributes to the application and boundary conditions of the JD-R theory and provides practical guidance for improving the work engagement level of tobacco retailers.

Summary: There is a high prevalence of job burnout among rural preschool teachers in China, particularly in the western areas and independent public kindergartens. Job resources were found to reduce burnout, while job demands had the opposite effect. Teacher cooperation, decision making, kindergarten resources, and salary were associated with reduced burnout, while role commitments, business issues, and classroom management were associated with increased burnout. Kindergarten variables intensified the impact of demands and resources on burnout. Specific measures should be taken to reduce work demands and provide adequate resources to prevent job burnout among preschool teachers.

Summary: Through two studies, it was found that individuals with higher education levels have more job resources but also face more job demands, leading to increased job stress and decreased job satisfaction, offsetting the positive gains associated with resources. There are important trade-offs underlying the relationship between education and job satisfaction, and gender and self-employment status can influence this association.

Summary: Guided by the effort-recovery model and the dualistic model of passion, this study explored the relationships between work engagement, workplace passion, psychological detachment, and psychological distress among Japanese professionals. The findings indicate that engaged employees are more susceptible to psychological distress due to decreased levels of psychological detachment. The moderating role of work passion was partially supported, with obsessive passion exacerbating this relationship, while contrary to expectations, the moderating role of harmonious passion was not significant. The results suggest that engaged employees are less likely to switch off, leading to ill-being at work, particularly among those with fewer volitional opportunities in the workplace.

Summary: Despite the positive impact of informal personal care on the cared for, carers themselves suffer from various negative health outcomes. Australian care policies primarily focus on the cared for and neglect the needs of carers. This article analyzes data from 36 interviews with carers who participated in a pilot training program aimed at enhancing opportunities. The findings suggest that more targeted and meaningful supports are necessary to maintain carers' motivation and well-being.

Summary: This study integrates theories on organizational psychosocial safety climate (PSC) and social information processing to understand how different organizational factors influence bullying risk. Constructive and laissez-faire leadership play important roles in shaping the likelihood of bullying. Findings from a sample of 1,231 employees from 47 New Zealand public sector agencies confirm the direct negative effect of PSC on bullying and highlight the importance of a multi-faceted approach to preventing and mitigating bullying.
