Resumo: Job stress can negatively affect the health of employees. As such, the investigation of its characteristics in different professional categories is relevant. The aim in this study was to analyze the predictive power of seven stressors (decision latitude, psychological demands at work, physical demands at work, social support from colleagues, ergonomic stressors, relationships with clients, job insecurity) for job dissatisfaction, depression and psychosomatic problems in a sample of 702 Brazilian lawyers. The data were collected using a Brazilian version of the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). The results showed that decision latitude and social support were the main negative predictors of stress, while psychological demands and job insecurity were its main positive predictors. These results are discussed in the light of the demand-support-control model, which was used as a framework for the research.

El estrés laboral puede afectar negativamente la salud del trabajador y, por esto, es relevante investigar sus principales propiedades en diferentes categorías laborales. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el poder predictivo de siete fuentes de estrés (latitud de la decisión, demandas psicológicas del trabajo, demandas físicas del trabajo, soporte social de colegas, motivos ergonómicos de estrés, relacionamiento con clientes e inseguridad en el trabajo) en la insatisfacción en el trabajo, en la depresión y en problemas psicosomáticos en una muestra de 702 abogados brasileños. La recolecta de dados fue mediante el Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Los resultados indicaron que la latitud de la decisión y el soporte social fueran los principales predictores negativos del estrés, mientras que las demandas psicológicas y la inseguridad en el trabajo fueran sus principales predictores positivos. Tales resultados son discutidos a partir del modelo de teórico de demandas-soporte-control que fundamentó la investigación. O estresse ocupacional pode afetar negativamente a saúde do trabalhador, o que torna relevante a investigação de suas características em diferentes categorias profissionais. O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o poder preditivo de sete fontes de estresse (latitude de decisão, demandas psicológicas do trabalho, demandas físicas do trabalho, suporte social de colegas, estressores ergonômicos, relacionamento com clientes e insegurança no trabalho) na insatisfação no trabalho, na depressão e em problemas psicossomáticos, em uma amostra de 702 advogados brasileiros. A coleta de dados efetivou-se por meio de uma versão adaptada do Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Os resultados obtidos revelaram que a latitude de decisão e o suporte social constituíram-se nos principais preditores negativos do estresse, enquanto as demandas psicológicas e a insegurança no trabalho foram os seus principais preditores positivos.Tais resultados são discutidos a partir do modelo teórico de demanda-suporte-controle, que fundamentou a pesquisa.
