Work stress and problem alcohol behavior: a test of the spillover model

Article Abstract:

The spillover relationship between job stress and drinking problem may be explained by at least 2 mechanisms, namely the escapist and nonescapist mechanism. The escapist mechanism considers drinking as a coping mechanism to reduce stress while nonescapist mechanism believes the opposite. Moreover, job dissatisfaction was directly related to the negative consequences of alcohol drinking. Furthermore, increases in job satisfaction decreased the negative consequences of drinking for workers with drinking problems.

Commute variability and strain

Article Abstract:

A new model of commuting variability indicates that the propositions of the commute impedance model need to be revised. According to the new model, strain is consistency associated with the commute length. The choice of commute shows low correlation with strain. Furthermore, commute strain is highly correlated with commute variability. Once commute variability is controlled, no significant relationship exists between impedance and strain.
