Insight is needed into the work-related factors that are most likely to threaten or protect their work-related well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To identify levels of job demands and resources (including demands relating to workload, work patterns and the working environment, relationship conflicts, control, support, role clarity and change management) among firefighters, and to use a job demands\u2013resources framework to examine their impacts on work-related well-being. The role played by recovery strategies in predicting work-related well-being was also considered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Job demands and resources were assessed by the Health &amp; Safety Executive (HSE) Management Standards Indicator Tool. Validated scales measured recovery strategies (detachment, affective rumination and problem-solving pondering) and work-related well-being (anxiety\u2013contentment and depression\u2013enthusiasm). The impact of job demands, resources and recovery strategies was tested by multiple linear regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sample comprised 909 firefighters across seven Fire and Rescue Services in the UK (85% male). Levels of job demands and resources did not meet HSE benchmarks. The main risk factors for poor work-related well-being were relationship conflicts and affective rumination, but resources such as role clarity and job control and the use of problem-solving pondering and detachment were beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interventions that aim to reduce relationship conflicts at work and promote problem-solving rather than affective rumination, and detachment from work when off-duty, are likely to improve work-related well-being. Attention to enhancing job resources may also be beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqz167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,31]],"date-time":"2019-12-31T15:09:40Z","timestamp":1577804980000},"page":"604-609","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Job demands, resources and work-related well-being in UK firefighters"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"N","family":"Payne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Middlesex University, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Kinman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Bedfordshire, Luton, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1108\/02683940510579803","article-title":"The experience of work-related stress across occupations","volume":"20","author":"Johnson","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Manag Psychol"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0002","author":"MIND"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0003","author":"HSE"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-14588-0_2","article-title":"Emotions in the fire service: decision-making, risk and coping.","volume-title":"Applying Occupational Psychology to the Fire Service","author":"Evans","year":"2019"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"224","DOI":"10.1037\/pro0000072","article-title":"Firefighter suicide: understanding cultural challenges for mental health professionals","volume":"47","author":"Henderson","year":"2016","journal-title":"Prof Psychol Res Pract"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4337\/9780857931153.00034","article-title":"Prevention of work-stress-related health complaints in firefighters.","volume-title":"Handbook of Stress in the Occupations","author":"Sluiter","year":"2011"},{"key":"2020021410492400200_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1452","DOI":"10.1037\/a0017595","article-title":"Too engaged?
