  • Beschreibung: Abstract Introduction Recently, the role of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) as an intangible resource in health management has gained attention. POS is an employee’s sense of organizational support, considered a “job resource” in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. While it is known that supervisor support, another “job resource,” mitigates the link between “job demands” and “psychological distress,” the role of POS in this context is less clear. This study investigates the buffering effect of POS on the relationship between job demands and psychological distress. Methods In March 2023, we recruited 16,629 workers from Internet survey registrants using Labor Force Survey data. Of these, 14,036 employed individuals were selected as the study subjects. The outcome variable was the K6 scale (high group scoring 13 or above, low group scoring less than 13), with job demands and POS as explanatory variables. Occupational stress from the JCQ Occupational Stress Questionnaire represented job demands. The Japanese version of the POS questionnaire (8-item version) was used for POS. Groups were divided into high and low based on median scores, and interaction effects were confirmed by logistic regression analysis. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UOEH. Results A significant interaction between job demands and POS on K6 was observed (p=0.004, 95%CI: [0.50-0.88]). Discussion The results suggest that POS may mitigate the effects of increased psychological stress responses to higher job demands. Conclusions In workplaces with high job demands, taking measures to improve POS, in addition to interventions to reduce job demands, may be effective.
