Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The demand-control model proposes that job strain (the combination of high job demands and low control) leads to negative health outcomes for individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is option A, which describes job strain as highest when job demands are high and control is low. Option B describes a positive form of stress, eustress, which is not the focus of the demand-control model. Option C describes role ambiguity, which is not explicitly considered in the demand-control model. Option D describes role conflict, which is related to but distinct from job demands and control. Option E describes eustress and role ambiguity, neither of which are primary components of the demand-control model.
