abstract

Model Effort Reward Imbalance (ERI) belongs to the basic concepts of mapping workplace stress. It examines the relationship between the long-term subjectively perceived level of workers’ effort and rewards and analyses the physical and psychosocial consequences of the (im)balance. We conducted verification of the ERI model on a sample of Czech professionals caring for the elderly in 2014 (N = 265). The survey included 12 facilities providing health and social services for the elderly. It was divided into 4 groups according to two criteria: facilities providing residential/field services and “medical” / “social workers”. We found that the majority of professional caregivers suffer from imbalance between higher effort and lower rewards and this discrepancy is reflected in the reduction of their well-being. The level of imbalance differs among defined groups. The outputs correspond to foreign studies and confirm the validity of the ERI model.
