Although previous theory an d research suggest that employee well - being should be predicted by work conditions (viz. , Karasek and colleagues’ job demands - control - social support [J - DCS] model), other factors are also likely to be important. In this study, the authors consider correlates of employee psychological distress and well - being using a goal - focused approach grounded in Ford’s (1992) motivational systems theory. Specifically, work conditions and midlevel work goal processes (WGP) were examined in a questionnaire study of health care employees. Regarding predictions derived from the J - DCS model, the authors found full support for the iso-strain, partial support for the nonlinearity, and no support for the buffer hypothesis. Of importance, however, WGP (i. e., cognitions and emotions involved in the pursuit of self - set work goals) explained variance in job satisfaction, burnout, depression, and somatic complaints, over and above that of the J - DCS model. This suggests that investigation of WGP can enhance our understanding of employee psychological distress and well - being.
