Coping with work-related stressors: does education reduce work-related stress?

Schoger, L. (2023).
Coping with work-related stressors: does education reduce work-related stress? Journal of Public Health (online first). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10389-023-02070-5
Abstract

Work is a central area of human life, and work-associated stress can affect health over a long period of time. From a health sociological perspective, it was assumed in this paper that education as a resource is able to support the management of stress(ors) and thus has a positive impact on health. Data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS): Starting Cohort 6 – Adults, was used and a cross-sectional analysis was performed. Linear regression models were estimated to analyse the effect of stressors at the workplace on work-related stress. The results show that more well-educated people show a lower level of stress, net of stressors and additional controls.

Abstract

The DZHW-Panel Study of School Leavers 2018 is part of the DZHW-Panel Study of School Leavers survey series, in which standardized multiple surveys are used to collect information on the post-school careers of school leavers with a (school) higher education entrance qualification. As a rule, several survey waves are conducted at different times before and after the acquisition of the higher education entrance qualification. Accordingly, this is a combined cohort-panel design. The panel 2018 is the 21st cohort of the survey series of which the data of the first survey wave will be published first. [...] Full abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:gsl2018:1.0.0

Abstract

Work is a central area of human life in which stress can affect a person’s health over a long period of time. From a health sociological perspective I assume that education as a resource is able to support the management of work-related stress(ors) and thus has an impact on health. This contribution deals with the research question of whether more highly educated people cope better with work-related stressors than those people who are less highly educated. I use Data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS; starting cohort adults (SC6)) and perform a cross sectional analysis. I estimate linear regression models to analyse the effect of stressors at the workplace on work-related stress.
