Abstract

PSC multilevel theory aligns with other work stress models, including the job demands-control (JD-C) model (Karasek, Adm Sci Q 224 :285–307, 1979), the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model (Siegrist, J Occup Health Psychol 1 :27–41, 1996), and the job demands-resources (JD-R) model (Demerouti et al,. J Appl Psychol 86 :499–512, 2001). It also can be linked up to the signal theory (Lohr et al., Clin Psychol Rev 27 :114–126, 2007) and COR’s theory (Hobfoll, J Occup Psychol 84 :116–122, 2011) as well as to the field of strategic human resource management. This chapter aims to present the “theory” of PSC as an extension of these different theories and models. It summarizes the evidence of the PSC’s functions (as a predictor or a moderator) provided by previous researches and offers a new insight into the role of PSC (as a mediator). It highlights the validation and universality of PSC across countries and occupations. The chapter also provides evidence of a variety of research designs used to examine this concept and introduce its validity and its measures. Finally, the chapter indicates how PSC can be applied in practice.
