PY - 2020 DA - 2020/02/12 TI - Are social conflicts at work associated with depressive symptomatology? Results from the population-based LIFE-Adult-Study JO - Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology SP - 1 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Psychosocial stressors in the workplace can be detrimental to mental health. Conflicts at work, e.g. aggression, hostility or threats from coworkers, supervisors or customers, can be considered a psychosocial stressor, possibly increasing risk for depressive symptoms. Existing studies, however, differ in the assessment of social conflicts, i.e. as individual- or job-level characteristics. Here, we investigated the association between conflicts at work assessed as objective job characteristics, and depressive symptomatology, using data from a large population-based sample. Additionally, we investigated gender differences and the impact of personality traits and social resources.
