| Abstract | The main objective of the thesis is to propose a multi-method approach for the evaluation of work stress. Some authors consider it inappropriate to the exclusively use self-report measures in order to detect both the stressors and the psychological and/or physical strain within the same research (Grebner, Semmer, & Elfering, 2005). In particular, there are two issues that are most frequently reported. The first refers to common method bias and common method variance, the second to the role of negative affectivity in the process that leads to the formation of work stress. In order to minimize these issues, it is useful to integrate the self-assessments with the assessment of psycho-physical strain carried out by the physician (hetero-evaluation) and/or with objective indicators of disease such as sick leave. The thesis is divided into three studies. The first shows that the negative affectivity influences the perception of the psycho-social context in which the workers are and, indirectly, the psycho-physical strain. In the second study, the metric properties of an instrument designed to allow the evaluation of the psycho-physical strain by the physician were confirmed. The integrated use of self- and hetero-evaluations also allowed to identify some antecedents of psycho-physical strain. In the third study the integrated use of self-evaluations of stressors, the evaluation of the psycho-physical symptoms performed by the physician and the absences from work made it possible to understand, within the theoretical framework defined by the Effort-Recovery model, the various phases of the process that leads to the formation of work stress. Overall, the second and third studies testify the goodness of the multi method approach, which, supplementing but not replacing the self-assessments of workers, can help to have a complete and informational picture of the situation within the organization |
