Abstract |
Work-related stress can lead to substantial health problems and thereby result
in immense costs for establishments. Therefore, the question as to what extent
establishments contribute to their employees’ stress levels is of great importance
for firm performance. We investigate the relationship between personnel policies
and work-related stress by considering a series of personnel policies that refer to
a worker’s job reward, job demand, or job control situation. Using data from the
German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) we find statistically significant associations
of several policies and work-related stress. Most importantly, bad promotion opportunities
and low working time control turn out to be associated with higher stress
levels, while the opposite is true for an adequate salary. |
