Objetivo: identificar as produções científicas que utilizaram o modelo demanda-controle na América Latina. Metodologia: pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados LILACS, SCIELO E MEDLINE, realizada no período de junho a setembro de 2010 com as palavras-chave: “modelo demanda-controle”, “Karasek”, “job content questionnaire”, “job stress scale” e os descritores: “estresse psicológico” e “saúde do trabalhador”. Resultados: obteve-se 35 estudos (30 artigos e cinco teses). Quanto ao ano das publicações, destacam-se os anos de 2009 e 2010 (40%). O periódico com maior número de publicações foi a Revista de Saúde Pública do Brasil (20%). Os estudos investigaram trabalhadores da área da saúde (48,6%), docentes (14,3%), outras áreas de trabalho e estudos técnicos. Conclusão: evidenciou-se a importância do modelo demanda-controle na investigação do ambiente psicossocial do trabalho, principalmente os efeitos do estresse ocupacional e suas repercussões sobre a saúde, em estudos com populações de diversas áreas.

This small, cross-sectional study assessed the reliability of 3 scales from the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ)—decision latitude, psychological job demand, and social support—in a group of office workers in a multinational company in Kuala Lumpur. A universal sample of 30 white-collar workers from a department of the company self-administered the English version of the JCQ comprising 21 core items selected from the full recommended version of 49 items onsite. Reliability (internal consistency) was evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficients for each scale. Corrected item—total correlation was presented for each and every item. Cronbach's α coefficients were acceptable for decision latitude (.76) and social support (.79) but slightly lower for psychological job demand (.64). Values for all item—total correlations for all 3 scales were greater than .3. In conclusion, this study suggests that the JCQ is a reliable scale for assessing job stress in this group of workers.

O modelo Demanda-Controle, com grande poder explanatório, tem como objetivo a avaliação do estresse ocupacional. Buscou-se conhecer, através de uma revisão integrativa, a produção científica sobre a utilização do modelo Demanda-Controle para investigação do estresse ocupacional entre profissionais de enfermagem, no período de 2000 a 2011. Dos 16 estudos selecionados, a maioria (cinco artigos) foi publicada em 2009. A Job Stress Scale e o Job Content Questionnaire foram utilizados em nove e sete estudos, respectivamente. Houve uma grande diversidade na forma de análise dos dados. As dimensões Demanda e Controle e sua associação com problemas relacionados à saúde do trabalhador foram avaliadas em 56,25% dos estudos, dos quais 37,5% estavam relacionados à saúde mental. Os artigos apontam a necessidade de produção científica nacional, sugerindo a atuação dos pesquisadores em estudos de intervenção que possibilitem a redução do estresse laboral e, consequentemente, melhoria do estado de saúde mental dos trabalhadores.

To evaluate psychometric properties the Chinese (mainland) version of the 30-item Job Content Questionnaire was administered to 889 employees in 4 industries of PetroChina. A retest at 3 months with 296 randomly chosen employees showed reliabilities ranged from .76 to .93. Cronbach coefficients alpha for the 8 dimensions ranged from .43 to .88, indicating that the Job Insecurity subscale had low internal consistency. Exploratory factor analysis showed 8 meaningful factors corresponding to the 8 theoretical dimensions of this questionnaire. This version has variable a but suitable retest to be a reliable and valid measure of job strain, applicable to the Chinese industrial working population of PetroChina.

Among the various work stress models, one of the most popular has been the job demands-control (JDC) model developed by Karasek (1979 ), which postulates that work-related strain is highest under work conditions characterized by high demands and low autonomy. The absence of social support at work further increases negative outcomes. This model, however, does not apply equally to all individuals and to all cultures. This review demonstrates how various individual characteristics, especially some personality dimensions, influence the JDC model and could thus be considered buffering or moderator factors. Moreover, we review how the cultural context impacts this model as suggested by results obtained in European, American, and Asian contexts. Yet there are almost no data from Africa or South America. More crosscultural studies including populations from these continents would be valuable for a better understanding of the impact of the cultural context on the JDC model.
