RÉSUMÉ
Psychosocial occupational stress is one of the health hazards in the workplace in the view of occupational health. The aim of this study was to analyze a psychosocial occupational stress model among academic employees in Thai government universities under job conditions, Thailand. Primary data were collected from 500 academic employees in Thai government universities using stratified random sampling. The relationship between stress and tasks among academic employees in Thai government universities under normal job conditions was verified using a psychosocial occupational stress model. The results found that teaching and researching tasks had a direct effect on stress with standardized regression weights of 0.279 and 0.186, respectively (p-value < 0.01). In addition, teaching tasks had a negative relationship with academic service tasks with standardized regression weights of -0.199 (p-value < 0.01). At the same time, teaching tasks also had an indirect effect on stress through academic service tasks. Academic service tasks had a direct effect on stress with standardized regression weights of 0.098 (p-value < 0.05). By contradiction, the cultural preservative task did not have direct effect on stress (no significance). In addition, this model under normal job conditions is an appropriate model to describe the stress among academic employees in Thai government universities under job conditions because it indicated a very close fit and an excellent goodness of fit index. This psychosocial occupational stress model displayed that teaching tasks had the most direct effect on stress among academic employees in Thai government universities under job conditions.
