Karasek, 1979) Purpose Karasek proposed that work situations be classified in terms of the balance they offer between the demands on the worker and level of control he can exert over those demands, as a way to gain insight into the connection between type of occupation and health. Conceptual Basis In 1979, with his Job Demand Control Model (JDC model or Demand Control Support (DCS) model), US sociologist Robert Karasek presented an assessment of stress and stress factors in the work environment (labour intensity) and health promotion in the workplace. Job types with high demand and low control were associated with increased stress, increased absenteeism, and poorer self-concept of health. The demand/control model of Karasek and Theorell was validated in this setting with respect to stress and some stress-associated attitudes and behaviors. Ten years on: A review of recent research on the Job Demand–Control (-Support) model and psychological well-being By Andreas Mojzisch and Stefan Schulz-hardt Occupational coping self-efficacy explains distress and well-being in nurses beyond psychosocial job characteristics In terms of health, a review of 20 years of empirical research using Karasek's model confirmed that being in the high stress quadrant was associated with low psychological well-being, poor job Karasek's (1979) job demands-control model is one of the most widely studied models of occupational stress (de Lange, Taris, Kompier, Houtman, & Bongers, 2003). The key idea behind the job demands-control model is that control buffers the impact of job demands on strain and can help enhance employees’ job satisfaction with the opportunity to engage in challenging tasks and learn new skills According to his ‘Job Strain Model’ the worst combination for health is to have high demands and low decision latitude. Further work has added an important dimension of work social support to this model (Reference Karasek and Theorell Karasek & Theorell, 1990).

Work characterized by high demands, low decision latitude, and low support decreases health and well-being. Karasek’s dynamic model of job strain (adapted from (3).

Karasek and Theorell provide a vision of humane organizations in which employees can master challenges and experience personal growth. communicating that workplace health is a business priority.

One model combines both Lazarus’ transactional theory of stress and coping (Lazarus 1986) and Karasek’s JDC theory (Karasek Jr 1979) is the revised transactional model of occupational stress and coping presented by Goh and colleagues (Goh, Sawang and Oei 2010).

This paper examines whether social support is a boundary-determining criterion in the job strain model of Karasek (1979). The particular focus is the extent to which different sources of social support, work overload and task control influence job satisfaction, depersonalization and supervisor assessments of work performance.

Several authors have introduced the model as a promising approach to investigate the quality of working life in schools in the Netherlands (Christis, 1992; De Jonge, 1992; Van der Krogt, 1995; Onstenk, 1997).

1.2 Models of job satisfaction 1.2.1 Affect Theory The most famous job satisfaction model is given by Edwin A. Locke which is known as Affect theory. Karasek’s job demand-control model (JDC-model), which is a leading work stress model in occupational health psychology, assumes that a work environment can be characterized by a combination of the demands of the job and the amount of control employees have to cope with these demands (Karasek, 1979; Karasek & Theorell, 1990; Taris & Feij, 2004).

Karasek’s theory of job demand-control (JD-C) about work stress has had a great impact on the academic literature and job redesign (Bright, 2001). According to Kompier (2003) the JD-C model is presently one of the most influencing models of stress in occupational health.
