Work, worker and wellbeing: An overview

Work-related psychosocial stressors originate in social structures and processes, affect humans through psychological processes and influence health through four types of interrelated mechanisms - cognitive, emotional, behavioral and physiological. The health outcome is modified by situational (e.g. social support) and individual factors (e.g. personality, coping repertoire). The work environment-stress-health system is dynamic, with many feedback loops.
