Study Notes
Resource Types
- Personal resources are internal and stable, while contextual resources are external and volatile.
- Short-term or volatile resources are more likely to be depleted quickly.
Job Demands and Control (D-C) Model
- The two main factors that workers perceive and experience are job demands and job control.
- Workers struggle in situations where they have high demands and low control.
- Notable conditioning factors identified in research involving the D-C model are social support and job security.
Job Demands and Resources (JD-R) Theory
- The specific focus of the JD-R theory is on the interaction between job demands and resources in predicting work-related outcomes.
- JD-R and COR illustrate the source of resources, including personal and contextual resources.
Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory
- The COR theory explains individual differences in resource availability and resilience.
- Resources can include objects, personal characteristics, and conditions.
- The COR theory is closely aligned with the definition of stress as a psychological and physiological reaction to the overtaxing of one’s available resources.
- Losing employment tends to trigger a loss of resources.
Applications and Implications
- The COR theory has utility beyond work environments, and professionals such as social workers, counselors, and psychologists find it useful.
- Workers with high resource caravans (i.e., a collection of resources) may be able to maintain a stronger sense of control even in high demand situations.
- The COR theory provides a framework and structure for understanding stress and resource management.
