Objective: With respect to increase of job stress and disease that arise from stress in work environments, purpose of this study was investigated the role of effort-reward imbalance and demand-control-support model in accession of psychosomatic symptoms at staff of a company in Ahwaz.
Method: The statistical population comprised of all personnel of a company in Ahwaz who worked at 1392. The sample consisted of 202 employees, who were selected by simple random sampling method and answered to the effort-reward imbalance, job content, and psychosomatic symptoms in nonclinical context questionnaires.
