Due to economic and technological changes, work has intensified over the past few decades. This intensification of work takes a toll on
employees well-being and job satisfaction. Paskvan et al. (2016) established a model which explores the effects of work intensification on various outcomes (emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction). They used cognitive appraisal (i.e., how an individual views a situation) as a mediator and the participative climate as a moderator of the relationship between work intensification and cognitive appraisal.
