• W2195938250 abstract "AbstractImpacts of supportive workplace culture have not received considerable attention of social scholars. There exists hardly any empirical work that examines the influence of supportive workplace culture on the work pressure of workers, and the gender dynamics thereby. Hence, I examine the gender difference in work pressure and explore the effects of workplace support on work pressure. Literature review suggests that women workers would perceive less work pressure than men and workplace support would reduce their work pressure. Deriving data from a nationally representative sample of American adult workers, I ask: (1) do women and men differ in their work pressure at workplaces? And (2) what are the impacts of supportive workplace culture, supportive supervisor, and coworker' support on work pressure? Findings from quantitative analyses indicate that contrary to the expectation, women perceive greater work pressure than men. And, supportive workplace culture and supportive supervisor are more important than coworkers' support in the reduction of workers' perceptions about their work pressure.IntroductionScholars of gender, work, and occupation agree that work pressures seriously affect workers' well - being (Maume and Purcell 2007). However, not a lot is known about work pressure of workers in the United States. Literature addresses work pressure in two specific ways: (a) how long (work hours) they have to work, and (2) the pace of their work (Maume & Purcell 2007).Undoubtedly, Americans are overworked. Many workers work for longer hours and many Americans are not fully employed (Jacobs and Gerson 2004; Maume & Purcell 2007).Scholarship also focuses on work pressure with regards to how fast the workers work. History of union movements and workers' strikes pay special attention to the pace of work (Maume & Purcell 2007; Zeiger 1986). Dembe (2001) proposes that fast pace and short deadlines can be detrimental towards the health and happiness of workers because of the undue pressure. Considering the severe health, emotional, and financial consequences of work pressure, it is interesting that, lost in the discussion is how workers themselves perceive their work pressure. Stone (2008) suggests that high-achieving women often perceive unbearable work pressures and thus discontinue with their careers. In this paper, I also present an empirical study of workers perceived work pressure but in relation to their workplace support.Scholars of gender, work, and occupation have extensively studied the impact of workplace support on the well-being of women workers (Ducharme and Martin 2000). The concept of well-being includes several indicators like, income, job satisfaction, psychological distress, self-esteem, anxiety, powerlessness, role strain, and depression. (Ducharme and Martin 2000; House 1981; Karasek 1990; Kohn 1976; Locke 1976). Since oppressive work environment severely deteriorates women's well-being (Ducharme & Martin 2000), and stressful experiences at work result primarily from their work pressure (Maume & Purcell 2007), it is logical to assume that women's work pressure also considerably influences their well -being. Hence, it important to study the impacts of workplace support on work pressure of workers in general and women workers in particular.Workplace support has been explored in multiple ways like, affective and instrumental social support, support from the coworkers, understanding and caring managers, as well as the overall workplace culture (Ducharme & Martin 2000; Banerjee and Perrucci 2010). Studies with nationally representative samples have underpinned the effects of workplace support on workers' overall well-being (Banerjee and Perrucci 2010). These studies present workplace support not only as a powerful predictor of workers' well-being but also as a concept that needs more elaborate explanations. …" @default.
