Introduction Trend in society rather than specific group of employees Simultaniously good jobs (influence, variation, high demands, skills descretion) and stressfull jobs “high to fly and deep to fall” – threath to identity “An iron-hand in a silk glove”

Areas of importance, aim 1: Work culture: Degree of trust, respect and justice between management and employees. Degree of individualization of problems.

8
Aim 2 To which degree are stress, sleeping problems and lack of work-life balance linked together as symptoms of strain? To which degree are they independently present and independently related to physiological stress reactions?
9
Research questions, aim 2 To which degree are stress, work-life balance and sleep associated with each other cross sectional and prospectively? To which degree are the phenomena stable over time? Is the association between self-reported stress and physiological stress (cortisol level) mediated or moderated by sleep? Is the association between self-reported stress and work-life balance mediated or moderated by sleep quality?
10
