Research has demonstrated that excessive occupational stress can lead to significant physiological and psychological consequences. Yet, in spite of the prolific investigation of job-related stress, many of its resultant outcomes, such as the costs and duration of disability, have not been thoroughly quantified. Even more, studies of job stress taxonomies have not produced consistent results, hence making truly efficacious interventions difficult to design and assess. Indeed, previous investigations on one of the most preeminent occupational stress theories, the Demand-Control hypothesis, have found mixed results with respect to the relationship of job demand and control characteristics to stress-related outcomes. This study extended upon the occupational stress literature by using Oregon workers' compensation stress claims from 1984–1997, in conjunction with the Current Population Survey to quantify the costs, indemnity duration, and rates of accepted and denied claims by occupation and industry. Additionally, two factor analyses were conducted using the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Network database to develop demand and control factors, that when merged with claimant occupations, allowed for assessment of the Demand-Control model using differing operationalizations of control. Tests for moral hazard claiming behavior by those in higher-stress occupation relative to those in lower stress occupations were also conducted. The results of this investigation revealed that the costs from occupationally related stress disability represent a large expense to businesses, and the associated duration of disability averaged about five months. Regression results indicated that the level of job demands was the main predictor of stress claims, and no interaction between demand and control was found. There were no substantial differences in the results when control was operationalized as decision latitude as opposed to decision authority. No evidence was discovered to indicate that varying levels of demand and control affect the proclivity of employees to engage in moral hazard behavior.Subjects--Topical Terms:
