Predictor and subgroup analysis of somatic symptoms and emotional exhaustion among university students in Germany during the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic
Introduction: The mental and physical health of university students is not just of interest to the students themselves, but to our whole society. While most research has focused on medical students, other disciplines remain underexplored. Therefore, this study aims (1) to assess the prevalence and development of emotional exhaustion and somatic symptoms from 2020 to 2021 in both cross-sectional and longitudinal samples of university students, (2)…
Integrating job design and cognitive-emotional processes using latent network analysis
Findings underscore the value of multivariate approaches to capture the nuanced effects of job design elements and cognitive-emotional processes on diverse employee outcomes. This approach provides a flexible framework that can be adapted to other organizational contexts, helping inform targeted future longitudinal research to advise intervention targets
The association between health behaviours and academic performance moderated by trait mindfulness amongst university students
Objectives To target health communication at less health-conscious groups, evidence on health behaviours’ effects on non-health-related outcomes – such as academic performance – is necessary. Recent research has highlighted the associations of various health behaviours on academic performance of university students. However, there is a lack of research investigating the most predominant health behaviours simultaneously and their association with …
Sedentary time of university students before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background The present study aimed to (1) assess and compare sedentary time (ST) of university students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) examine risk groups with regard to ST and the “extent of change” in ST (from before to during the pandemic) in association with sociodemographic (gender, age), study-related (degree aspired to, field of study, semester), and pre-pandemic physical health-related [pre-pandemic physical activity (PA) an…
Mental health state and its determinants in German university students across the Covid-19 pandemic
Background Students were at an increased risk for elevated mental symptoms during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels. As universities remained closed much longer than anticipated, the mental burden was expected to persist through the second year of the pandemic. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of mental distress from 2019 through 2021 and identify risk factors for elevated mental burden, …

Health Information Seeking Among University Students Before and During the Corona Crisis—Findings From Germany
Health information-seeking behavior is the process of gathering information about health and disease and can be influential for health-related perception and behavior. University students are an important target group for prevention and health promotion and largely belong to an age group that is considered to play a leading role in propagating the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Germany. The paper deals with students' health information-seeking behavior b…
Challenge Accepted! a Critical Reflection on How to Perform a Health Survey Among University Students—An Example of the Healthy Campus Mainz Project
Background: Universities represent an important setting of everyday life for health promotion. The Healthy Campus Mainz project aims to develop an evidence-based and comprehensive student health management program covering physical, mental, and social health promotion. Hence, an initial health survey was performed in order to identify the students' health concerns and resources. Up until now, it remains unclear which topics to choose in a health …
Is it Getting Better or Worse? Health‐Oriented Leadership and Psychological Capital as Resources for Sustained Health in Newcomers
During the transition from university to work, young adults face a stressful period in which leadership behavior serves as a guideline. Positive leadership behavior has the potential to increase internal resources, such as positive psychological capital (PsyCap). The research question addressed in this paper is if health‐oriented leadership and PsyCap as resources jointly influence the physical and mental health of novice teachers during the tran…
Work‐Related Psychosocial Risk Factors and Coping Resources during the Covid‐19 Crisis
T he COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a tremendous number of publica- tions in diverse disciplines. A search in the Web of Science in October 2020 with the key word "COVID-19" resulted in more than 43,000 hits. While the majority of these studies were conducted in different fields of medicine, in relative numbers the share of psychological papers was only about 2 percent, with clinical psychology representing more than half of publications in this c…
The Cross-Level Moderation Effect of Resource-Providing Leadership on the Demands—Work Ability Relationship
Employees in female-dominated sectors are exposed to high workloads, emotional job demands, and role ambiguity, and often have insufficient resources to deal with these demands. This imbalance causes strain, threatening employees' work ability. The aim of this study was to examine whether resource-providing leadership at the workplace level buffers against the negative repercussions of these job demands on work ability. Employees (N = 2383) from …
When and Why Demands Reveal Their Challenging Potential during Change
This study contributes to a better understanding of the complexity of the demands that arise during organisational change. We investigated classic and change-specific demands in relation to emotional exhaustion and work engagement within the challenge-hindrance framework. We focused on workload and individual job impact and tested trust and autonomy as moderators. Data were collected via a cross-sectional online questionnaire. The convenience sam…
Study Crafting and Self-Undermining in Higher Education Students
The aim of the current study is to validate the adaptation of the job demands-resources theory to the study context. In addition, we introduce the concepts study crafting and self-undermining to the study demands-resources framework by examining the mediating role of engagement and exhaustion in the relationship between study characteristics and study crafting and self-undermining. Over four consecutive weeks, 205 higher education students answer…

Theoretische und empirische Perspektiven auf Bildung, Gesundheit und Arbeitsfähigkeit – ein interdisziplinärer Überblick
Im vorliegenden Beitrag stellen wir aus Sicht unterschiedlicher Disziplinen Analyseansätze vor, die sich eignen, um das Zusammenspiel von formaler Bildung, individueller Gesundheit, Gesundheitsverhalten und Arbeitsbelastungen sowie Aspekten der Arbeitsfähigkeit zu untersuchen. Dargestellt werden Ansätze der Ökonomik, der Soziologie sowie der Psychologie. Ziel ist es, methodische Grundlagen sowie mögliche Datenquellen aufzuzeigen, mittels derer in…
Three-Way Interactions Among Interruptions/Multitasking Demands, Occupational Age, and Alertness
In this study, we examined the within-person relationships between workday “cognitive” stressors (multitasking demands and workflow interruptions) and strain (situational well-being throughout the day and irritation in the evening). We hypothesized that occupational age, in terms of job tenure and an indicator of functional age (alertness), would moderate these relationships in that employees with low experience and low alertness would suffer mos…
Think transformational leadership – Think female
This study examines whether the behaviors of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership are perceived as being more typical of female or male leaders. In a questionnaire study, 113 participants in Germany were asked to rate the probability of occurrence of a specific leadership behavior for male and female leaders, respectively. A diagnostic ratio for each leadership behavior allows the determination of the direction and degree…
The relation between transformational leadership and follower emotional strain
The present study tests a model of moderated mediation in the relationship between transformational leadership and follower emotional strain. Based on the job demands-resources model, we suggest that transformational leaders may be able to decrease follower emotional strain by providing social support. It is also proposed that a protective effect of social support from a transformational leader will depend on the employees’ level of professional …
Masculinity ideology and psychological strain
According to the gender role strain paradigm (GRSP), men's adherence to masculinity ideology could result in dysfunction strain when it becomes incompatible with other role demands. To support the relevance of GRSP in the work context, we explored the relationship between masculinity ideology and st
Literature review of theory and research on the psychological impact of temporary employment
The increased use of temporary contracts has instigated debates on possible implications for employees’ attitudes, well‐being and behaviour. The complex issues related to this debate are reviewed from a theoretical, empirical and conceptual point of view. First, the definitions of temporary employment that are currently used in OECD countries are reviewed. Second, theoretical views concerning possible determinants are elaborated. The theoretical …
A Short Version of the Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale
Occupational self-efficacy is an important resource for individuals in organizations. To be able to compare the occupational self-efficacy of employees across different countries, equivalent versions of the standard instruments need to be made available in different languages. In this article, the authors report on the structural and construct validity of an instrument that assesses occupational self-efficacy across five countries (Germany, Swede…
