  • Title: It takes two to tango: personal and organizational resilience as predictors of strain and cardiovascular disease risk in a work sample.
    Author: Ferris PA, Sinclair C, Kline TJ.
    Journal: J Occup Health Psychol; 2005 Jul; 10(3):225-38. PubMed ID: 16060726.
    Abstract:
    In a cross-sectional sample of 428 employees, the job demand-control-support and effort-reward imbalance job stress models were amalgamated and expanded to include modifiable risk factors and noncontrollable genetic factors related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. With structural equation modeling, the constructs of lack of job resilience, lack of personal resilience, and job demand were used to examine how employer and employee factors related to psychosomatic strain and risk indicators of CVD. Negative perception of job demand predicted perception of lack of job resilience but not lack of personal resilience. Lack of job and personal resilience predicted strain. Women reported greater strain than men. CVD risk was predicted by strain, age, sex, and family history.
