The Impact of Effort-reward Imbalance on Quality of Life among Japanese Working Men.

The article discusses the impact of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI), a work-stress model, on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of Japanese working men. Consequently, about 1,096 employees from a manufacturing plant in Japan were evaluated to assess the HRQL and ERL though the Japanese version of the Short-Form 8 Health Survey (SF-8). However, it is claimed that only 1,057 out of the 1,096 surveyed employees provided valid responses to the questionnaire.
