Effort/reward imbalance and sedentary lifestyle: an observational study in a large occupational cohort

Objectives: To investigate the association between effort/reward imbalance (ERI) at work and sedentary lifestyle.

Effort-reward imbalance at work and the co-occurrence of lifestyle risk factors: cross-sectional survey in a sample of 36,127 public sector employees

Background: In occupational life, a mismatch between high expenditure of effort and receiving few rewards may promote the co-occurrence of lifestyle risk factors, however, there is insufficient evidence to support or refute this hypothesis. The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which the dimensions of the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model - effort, rewards and ERI - are associated with the co-occurrence of lifestyle risk factors.

Job strain, effort-reward imbalance, and heavy drinking: A study in 40,851 employees

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship of the job strain model and the effort-reward imbalance model with heavy drinking.

Risk and Reward: Safer systems of work practice.

To develop and implement a risk assessment process for all unlicenced medicinal products in use within the Belfast City Hospital.
Over half 65% of the unlicenced medicinal products currently in use were rated low or minor risk and therefore required no recording upon supply.
This has greatly improved the way unlicensed medicines are prescribed, procured, supplied and administered within the Belfast City Hospital.
