Job Demands-Resources Model

The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model is a framework that explains how various workplace factors affect employees' well-being and performance. It suggests that every job has demands, such as workload or time pressure, which can lead to stress. However, jobs also have resources, like support from colleagues or opportunities for growth, that help employees cope with these demands. When resources are sufficient, they can reduce stress and promote motivation. Essentially, the balance between job demands and resources determines how people feel about their work and how effectively they perform their tasks.
