Title The job demands-resources model: A three-year cross-lagged study of burnout, depression, commitment, and work engagement
Bibliographic information July-Sep. 2008, Vol.22, No.3, p.224-241. Illus. 57 ref.
Abstract The objective of this study was to test the motivational and health impairment processes of the job demands-resources model. Subjects consisted of a representative sample of 2555 Finnish dentists, who responded to two questionnaires at a three-year interval. Findings supported both the motivational process and the health impairment process. Job resources influenced future work engagement, which, in turn, predicted organizational commitment, whereas job demands predicted burnout, which, in turn predicted later depression. Non-occupational demands and resources did not influence the motivational or health impairment process over time.
