Strong Association of Perceived Chronic Stress with Leadership Quality, Work–Privacy Conflict and Quantitative Work Demands: Results of the IMPROVEjob Study
Abstract
:1. Background
2. Methods
2.1. Outcome Measures
- Sociodemographic and work characteristics: sex (m/f), age (in years), leadership responsibility (yes/no), part-time vs. full-time work.
- Perceived chronic stress: The validated TICS-SSCS (Trier Inventory for Chronic Stress—Screening Scale for Chronic Stress) measures the perceived burden of chronic stress in the last three months. It consists of 12 items with a 5-point Likert scale answering format (e.g., ‘In the last three months, how often did you experience fear of not being able to perform your duties?’; 0 = ‘never’ to 4 = ‘very often’) and is suitable for use in work-related diagnostics for both employees and self-employed persons (Schulz et al., 2004). A sum score of all 12 items is calculated, resulting in a score from 0 to 48 with 0 meaning ‘never stressed’ and 48 meaning ‘very often stressed’. The internal validity of the TICS-SSCS is excellent, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.91 (Schulz et al., 2004).
- Work demands and work–privacy conflict: These were measured using the corresponding scale of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (German COPSOQ, version 2018) (Burr et al., 2019). The COPSOQ is a validated instrument for measuring psychosocial factors at work (Lincke et al., 2021). The quantitative demands scale consists of five items (e.g., ‘How often do you not have time to complete your work tasks?’) and has a high internal validity (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.81). The emotional demands scale is based on two items (e.g., ‘Do you have to deal with other people’s personal problems as part of your work?’) and has a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74). The work–privacy conflict scale consists of two items (e.g., ‘The demands of my work interfere with my home and family life.’) and has a high internal validity (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.92). The response options for the scales are: always, often, sometimes, seldom, never/hardly ever. Following the COPSOQ manual, these were transformed into a numerical scale from 0–100, with high values indicating strong quantitative demands, emotional demands, and work–privacy conflicts.
- Quality of Leadership: This was assessed using the LMX and FIF questionnaire.
- Leader–Member Exchange: The leader–member exchange questionnaire (LMX-7) measures the quality of relationships between practice leaders and their staff with seven items on a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., ‘How would you characterise your working relationship with your leader/your member?’). The LMX-7 reflects the widespread concepts of transactional and transformational leadership and is based on the Leader–Member Exchange Theory (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995). The scale is analysed by calculating a sum score of all seven items with results ranging from 7 to 35 (Schyns & Knoll, 2014). The resulting five score categories describe the quality of leader–member exchange: 7 to 14 = very low, 15 to 19 = low, 20 to 24 = moderate, 25 to 29 = high, 30 to 35 = very high (Northouse, 2021). The internal consistency is high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.92) (Schyns & Knoll, 2014). Incidentally, question seven was missing for all employed physicians (n = 28), who were therefore excluded from LMX analyses.
- Integrative Leadership Questionnaire (FIF): The validated FIF questionnaire measured transformational and transactional leadership with 40 items answered on a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., ‘My manager communicates the meaning and background of upcoming tasks and goals.’). All scales are analysed by calculating a mean score, ranging from 1–5. Transformational and transactional leadership are reported as global mean scores and in sub-dimensions: innovation, team spirit, performance development, individuality focus, providing a vision and being a role model (transformational leadership), and goal setting and management by exception (transactional leadership) (Rowold & Poethke, 2017). For regression analysis, an overall score was created by averaging the practice leader’s self-assessment and the employees’ external assessment of their leader.
