To identify predictors of stress, correlational analyses and multiple hierarchical regressions were conducted with individual, organizational, and societal variables. Furthermore, to analyze the possible modulating role of gender, caregiving, and the level of responsibility in organizations in the relationship between predictor variables and work stress, the macro process of Hayes was used. Our results show that work\u2013family conflict and ruminative thoughts predict stress in both modalities. In teleworking modality, the hours dedicated to work predicted stress, and in face-to-face modality, safety measures and perceived economic threat (tendentially). Being in charge of persons moderated the relationship between ruminative thoughts and economic threat, and stress in face-to-face. Results are discussed by identifying good practices that can improve workplace risk prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19073837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,23]],"date-time":"2022-03-23T12:20:25Z","timestamp":1648038025000},"page":"3837","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Telework and Face-to-Face Work during COVID-19 Confinement: The Predictive Factors of Work-Related Stress from a Holistic Point of View"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Iduzki","family":"Soubelet-Fagoaga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of the Basque Country, 20018 Donostia-San Sebasti\u00e1n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maitane","family":"Arnoso-Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of the Basque Country, 20018 Donostia-San Sebasti\u00e1n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3035-2248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edurne","family":"Elgorriaga-Astondoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of the Basque Country, 20018 Donostia-San Sebasti\u00e1n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edurne","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of the Basque Country, 20018 Donostia-San Sebasti\u00e1n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"948","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbi.2020.04.025","article-title":"2019-nCoV pandemic: A disruptive and stressful atmosphere for Indian academic fraternity","volume":"88","author":"Gautam","year":"2020","journal-title":"Brain Behav.
