The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between work design characteristics and employee health outcome. Specifically, job resources (i.e. managerial support, co-worker support and information about organizational changes) were examined as moderators of the relationship between job demands (i.e. workload and lack of control) and mental health. Following the job demands-resources model, and by using partial-least squares structural equations modelling, this study provides empirical evidence that job demands are negatively related to employees' mental health on a sample of 383 public transportation drivers. Furthermore, as the results reveal, job resources relieve the negative impact of job demands thus providing an alternative for avoiding the health impairment process.

为心理健康设计工作：工作资源的调节作用

本文的目的是研究工作设计特征与员工健康状况之间的关系。具体来说，工作资源（即管理支持，同事支持和有关组织变更的信息）作为工作需求（即工作量和缺乏控制）与心理健康之间关系的调节者进行了检查。遵循工作需求-资源模型，并通过使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模，该研究提供了经验证据，表明对383个公共交通驾驶员的工作需求与员工的心理健康负相关。此外，结果表明，工作资源减轻了工作需求的负面影响，从而为避免健康受损过程提供了替代方法。
