Bal, M. (author), Benders, J. (author), Dhondt, S. (author), Vermeerbergen, L. (author)Despite the emergence of head-worn displays at work around forty years ago, few studies have appeared about their impact on job content. To investigate this, a systematic literature review was conducted on these devices and job content, defined as job demands and controls. In total, 3481 studies were identified using five scientific databases....article 2020

Niks, I.M.W. (author), de Jonge, J. (author), Gevers, J.M.P. (author), Houtman, I.L.D. (author)Detachment from work during non-work time is generally related to a decrease in work-related strain. However, it might also hamper employees’ generation of new and useful ideas about work by completely shutting off work-related thoughts and/or feelings outside of work. In this day-level study, we used a within-person design to investigate the...article 2017

Frins, W. (author), van Ruysseveldt, J. (author), van Dam, K. (author), van den Bossche, S.N.J. (author)Purpose. Using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model as a theoretical framework, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how job demands and job resources affect older employees’ desired retirement age, through an energy-depletion and a motivational process. Furthermore, the importance of gain and loss cycles (i.e. recursive effects) for...article 2016

(author)Based on assumptions of the Job Demands-Resources model and the Person-Environment fit literature, the present research conceptualizes an intrinsic relative to an extrinsic work value orientation as a personal resource. We examine whether such an orientation may strengthen the relations of classical job resources (i.e., autonomy and learning...article 2011

van Ruysseveldt, J. (author), Verboon, P. (author), Smulders, P.G.W. (author)The Job Demands-Resources model predicts that job demands increase and job resources decrease emotional exhaustion in employees. In this study, we investigated one possible mechanism for this, in order to provide a deeper insight into the role of job resources in this energy-depletion process. We assumed that job resources (autonomy and task...article 2011

The aim of this study was to examine whether a high-risk workstyle is a mediator in the relation of work-related exposure (job demands and computer work) and overcommitment to neck and upper limb symptoms.

A high-risk workstyle implied : taking shorter or fewer breaks or even skip breaks, working through pain, anticipating the possible negative reactions of colleagues, and making high demands on one's own performances at work.
