Not all job demands are equal: Differentiating job hindrances and job challenges in the Job Demands–Resources model (2010, background): “Therefore, Taris ( 2006 ) argued that the idea of a quadratic relation represents an “urban myth”, which, in his view, does not deserve further testing.”
The Job Demands-Resources Model (2015, background): “However, similar to previ‑ ous findings on interaction effects in the Demand‐Control model (e.g., Taris, 2006), the current evidence on demand × resource interaction effects shows that, even if significant, the practical relevance of such interactions tends to be low.”
When do job demands particularly predict burnout?: The moderating role of job resources (2007, result): “Nevertheless, we should also note that many other studies did not support this interaction either (De Rijk et al., 1998; Taris, 2006).”
Warr's scale of job-related affective well-being: A longitudinal examination of its structure and relationships with work characteristics (2007, background): “It has even been discussed that the curvilinear associations are one of the urban myths in occupational health psychology (Taris, 2006).”
The Job Demands-Resources model: A three-year cross-lagged study of burnout, depression, commitment, and work engagement (2008, background): “Because of the conceptual overlap between burnout and depression, the extent to which burnout differs from depressive symptomatology has been questioned (Taris, 2006).”
Is burnout a depressive disorder? A reexamination with special focus on atypical depression. (2014, background): “Whether the state of burnout should be considered a form of depression or a distinct entity remains an object of controversy (Bianchi, Boffy, Hingray, Truchot, & Laurent, 2013; Hallsten, 1993; Taris, 2006).”
Job tenure as a moderator of stressor–strain relations: A comparison of experienced and new-start teachers (2007, background): “More specifically, Taris (2006) observed that while the majority of studies have yielded no evidence of a demand control interaction effect on strain, a minority (24”
Well-being and organizational performance: An organizational-level test of the happy-productive worker hypothesis (2009, background): “…organizational performance As indicated above, higher levels of individual-level well-being are often expected to promote higher levels of individual-level motivation and performance, which would lead to higher levels of organizational performance (Bakker et al., 2008; Koys, 2001; Taris, 2006a).”
Do burnout and work engagement predict depressive symptoms and life satisfaction? A three-wave seven-year prospective study. (2012, background): “…at large because it is related to higher absenteeism (Ahola et al., 2008), chronic work disability (Ahola et al., 2009a, 2009b), hospital admissions due to mental and cardiovascular disorders (Toppinen-Tanner et al., 2009), turnover (Shimizu et al., 2005), and poorer job performance (Taris, 2006a).”
Ten years on: A review of recent research on the Job Demand–Control (-Support) model and psychological well-being (2010, background): “We perceive at least three possible reasons for the low support rates for multiplicative effects: First, the idea of buffering effects might simply be incorrect, and data confirming the buffer hypotheses might have been type-I-errors (see also Taris, 2006).”
The Job Demands-Resources Model: An Analysis of Additive and Joint Effects of Demands and Resources. (2011, background): “Indeed, in a review paper about the interactive effect of job demands and job resources, Taris (2006) showed that only 9 out of 90 tests performed provide support for this interaction effect.”
Relationship between burnout and depressive symptoms: A study using the person-centred approach (2014, background): “This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by-nc-nd/3.0/). regarding burnout and in private life regarding depression (Bakker et al., 2000; Taris, 2006).”
Testing Karasek's learning and strain hypotheses on young workers in their first job (2007, background): “It is conspicuous that such an interaction effect was found in this analysis, whereas it remains absent in many other studies (see e.g., Taris, 2006; van der Doef & Maes, 1998, 1999).”
