• Description:
  This article presents the overall research design and preliminary results of an intervention study on work organization and health which integrates the 3 phases of intervention research: development, implementation, and effectiveness. The demand-latitude-support and effort-reward-imbalance models were used to assess adverse work organization factors. Psychological distress was measured using the Psychiatric Symptoms Index. The intervention development phase in a major department of a public organization revealed an excess of psychological demands, job strain, low reward, effort-reward imbalance, and psychological distress compared to reference populations, and allowed workers to identify 5 priorities for action. The implementation phase showed that changes that were put into effect were consistent with those priorities. [Description provided by NIOSH]
