The Relationship Between Mindfulness and Work-Related StressAndersson, Malin, Engervall, Magnus January 2017 (has links)
Stress is both a health risk and an economic risk for our society. Employers search for ways to offer possible stress reducers for their employees. Mindfulness as a stress reducer is a fairly new research area but with a good amount of research papers suggesting that mindfulness programmes over several weeks are successful in reducing subjective perceived stress as well as physiological stress, such as blood pressure and cortisol levels. This study aims to examine whether mindfulness could show positive effects on stress at work, after only one mindfulness session, compared to being on an extended break. Measurements includes the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ), blood pressure and pulse. The results show that engaging in one single mindfulness session does have an effect on lowering blood pressure as well as lowering perceived tension, which is one of four parts of the SMBQ.

Repetitive and monotonous work among women : Psychophysiological and subjective stress reactions, muscle activity and neck and shoulder painRissén, Dag January 2006 (has links)
<p>Repetitive and monotonous work is frequently associated with neck and shoulder pain and negative psychosocial factors inducing stress reactions. The present thesis concerns the relations between psychophysiological and subjective stress reactions, muscle activity measured by surface electromyography (SEMG) in the trapezius muscle, and neck and shoulder pain in women performing repetitive and monotonous work. In Study I cardiovascular and subjective stress reactions were investigated during computer work in a laboratory setting. The findings indicated that heart rate variability is a more sensitive and selective measure of mental stress compared with blood pressure recordings. Study II explored the relations between stress reactions and muscle activity during supermarket work. The results showed that perceived negative stress reactions may have a specific influence on muscle activity in the neck and shoulder region, which can be of importance for work-related musculoskeletal disorders in repetitive and monotonous work. In Study III the association between SEMG activity patterns and neck and shoulder pain was investigated during cash register work. It was found that pain-afflicted women had a different muscle activation pattern (more static, more co-contraction, less muscle rest) compared with pain-free women. Study IV was a follow-up study evaluating the introduction of job rotation among female cashiers. The results indicated positive effects on diastolic blood pressure, muscle activity, and partly on neck and shoulder pain, although perceived stress was unchanged. It was concluded that job rotation seems to have a limited effect on chronic neck and shoulder pain, but may be an effective preventive measure. The empirical findings are particularly relevant for women who, compared with men, more often perform repetitive and monotonous work and are also more often affected by neck and shoulder pain.</p>

Ledarskapsbeteenden i projekt : En kvantitativ studie om ledarskapsbeteendens effekter på stress och motivation / Leadership behaviors in projects : A quantitative study on the effects of leadership behaviors on stress and motivationSavinainen, Frida January 2024 (has links)
The aim of the study was to investigate whether task- and relationship- oriented leadership behaviors have effects on subjective stress and intrinsic motivation among project members. A quantitative method employed to address the study's research questions, hypotheses, and aim in form of a cross-sectional study. Data collection was conducted through surveys. Existing measurement instruments were utilized in the study. The population consisted of 83 usable survey responses. Two multiple regression analyses were conducted, and the result showed that it is possible to predict subjective stress and intrinsic motivation among project members based on the indeoendent variables of task- and relationship-oriented leadership behaviors. Two multiple regression models were found to have unique significant contributions to subjective stress and intrinsic motivation. However, the coefficient for task- oriented leadership behavior in relation to intrincic motivation was deemed not significant in one of the regression analyses. The studys results go against some previous research and contribute to further research linked to motivation, which is discussed in the discussion section.
