Introduction :Psychosocial work environments pertain to interpersonal and social interactions that influence behavior and development in the workplace.Objective :To test a comprehensive and theory-based psychosocial work environment questionnaire and analyze associations with mental health in a sample of doctors in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. METHODOLOGY :The design of study is cross-sectional study. It took place at Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore, from March 2017 to june 2017.A sample size of 100 working doctors was selected. Technique was non probability. After an informed consent each doctor was given the NRCWE’s Copenhagen short questionnaire consisting of 39 questions. The analysis of data was entered in SPSS 21. . After calculating frequency of data and explaining demographic variables, Independent t test sampling was applied and tables and pie chart was drawn.Results : Results reported worse working conditions in terms of stress, burnout, work family conflict and social support from superiors. High levels of stress and burnout were found. Doctors were almost satisfied with their jobs ( scores near to average but less than average ). Male doctors  were found to be more satisfied with their jobs than female doctors.

The Relationship

This study tested the moderation effect that leader support had on the relation between a family-supportive work environment (FSWE) and work–family conflict (WFC) in the Portuguese Navy. Data were collected through the application of a questionnaire to 260 career Navy junior and senior officers. Results indicated that a positive relation existed between the FSWE and WFC, being so that more FSWE related to more WFC. When bringing leader’s support to the subject, the only relation found was between leader support and WFC in which less leader support related to more WFC. The results didn’t back up the hypothesis that leader support had a positive moderating impact on the relationship between an FSWE and WFC. Given this, the results are discussed considering the theory on WFC and possible implications for future research and practice are presented for the Portuguese Navy.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a measure of job insecurity climate by: first, testing whether job insecurity climate and individual job insecurity are two separate constructs; and second, investigating the relative importance of individual job insecurity and job insecurity climate in predicting work-related and health-related outcomes. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected by questionnaires in a simple stratified random sample of 1,380 white-collar workers in Sweden. The response rate was 56 percent. Findings – Confirmatory factor analyses showed that job insecurity climate was distinct from individual job insecurity. Four separate ridge regression analyses showed that qualitative job insecurity climate was a significant predictor of demands, work-family conflict, psychological distress, and poor self-rated health and that quantitative job insecurity climate predicted demands and work-family conflict. Research limitations/implications – The study is based on self-reports, which may involve common method bias. The cross-sectional study design limits the possibility to make causal inferences regarding the relationship between job insecurity climate and outcomes. Practical implications – Future studies may consider measuring job insecurity climate in line with a referent-shift model. Work environment surveys in organizations that include measures of individual job insecurity and job insecurity climate can provide practitioners with a fuller picture of the psychosocial work environment. Originality/value – The present study adds to previous research by introducing a new approach to measuring and conceptualizing job insecurity climate.
