***p<0.001. † Data from 1,442 respondents who completed 34 scales from a national representative survey of employees of Japan in 2010/2011. “19. Support from family and friends” scale was excluded from the analysis because of non-work environment. Maximum likelihood method was used to estimate factor loadings. A blank indicates that there was no path from a factor to a job demands/resources scale (i.e., zero factor loading) as hypothetically defined in the model38).
