ABSTRACT
This research proposes and tests an ethnicity and work stress model (taking a cue from the DRIVE model, Mark and Smith, 2008) that would combine aspects of traditional job stress models (the DCS and ERI) with individual differences in the forms of coping styles and personality behaviours, appraisals (job satisfaction/stress) and all the ethnicity variables in the prediction of psychophysical health outcomes. The DRIVE model was considered as a framework for this new model because some of its key relationships propose that work demands, individual differences, and work resources have main effects on anxiety, depression, and job satisfaction and that work resources and individual differences may moderate the relationship between work demands and health outcomes, while perceived job stress may mediate this relationship.
