Reward Imbalance

Recent studies have shown that incessant job stress could eventually result in sleep dysfunction (SD), and most importantly, the essential role dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene polymorphisms play in the psychopathological mechanism of SD. The Effort-Reward Imbalance scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were both used to access SD and job stress (JS). A significant negative correlation was observed between the sDA levels and SD subscale scores (sleep efficiency, daytime dysfunction). The findings revealed that high levels of JS were linked to a higher SD score (OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.46–3.12). Likewise, the homozygous A1A1 genotype of DRD2 rs1800497 was more likely to be associated with SD (OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.75–4.82). Compared to participants with low JS and heterozygous A1A2/A2A2 genotype, those with both high JS and homozygous A1A1 genotype had a higher SD score (OR = 5.40, 95% CI: 2.89–10.11). The A1 allele of the DRD2 rs1800497 polymorphism also enhances the likelihood of SD when undergoing JS. Besides, subjects with low JS and the homozygous A1A1 genotype also showed an increased possibility for sleep dysfunction (OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.03–4.11). Our results suggest that the DA system may interrelate with JS to affect sleep.

Abstract Background: Healthcare workers, whose job is to protect and improve the health of populations, are critical to the success of health systems and to achieving national and global health goals. To respond effectively to the health needs of populations, healthcare workers themselves must be in a perfect state of health. However, healthcare workers face various psychosocial pressures, including night shifts, long working hours, demands of patient care, medical disputes, workplace violence, and emotional distress due to poor interactions with patients and colleagues and poor promotion prospects. Constant exposure to these psychosocial hazards adversely impacts healthcare workers’ health. This study aimed to examine the influence of effort-reward imbalance, job satisfaction, and work engagement on self-rated health among healthcare workers, which is conducive to providing policy guidance from several aspects as possible as to improve healthcare workers’ health. Methods : The Chinese Sixth National Health and Services Survey in Sichuan Province was conducted from August 2018 to October 2018, and we analysed 1327 valid responses. We used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test the hypothesized relationship among the variables. Results: Only 40.1% of healthcare workers rated their health as ‘relatively good’ or ‘good’. Effort-reward imbalance had a significant negative correlation with self-rated health (β=-0.053, 95%CI: (-0.163) -(-0.001)). The relationships of effort-reward imbalance and work engagement with self-rated health were both mediated by job satisfaction (95%CI: (-0.150) -(-0.050), (0.011) -(0.022)). Work engagement mediated the relationship between effort-reward imbalance and self-rated health (95%CI: (-0.064) -(-0.008)). Conclusion: In order to improve the health of healthcare workers, administrators should balance effort and reward and provide opportunities for career development and training for healthcare workers. In addition, health managers should help healthcare workers realize the significance and value of work and help keep them actively devoted to their work through incentive mechanisms.
