Higher demands, more resources - Working conditions of leaders

Leaders are exposed to high demands at work, but they have many resources at their disposal. The picture is even more nuanced depending on the number of employees managed. For example, those with wide-ranging leadership responsibilities more frequently work under pressure to meet deadlines or performance goals but also have a larger decision latitude than supervisors with less leadership responsibility. Despite the available resources, high demands often lead to psychosomatic symptoms, such as exhaustion or sleep disorders. These are the results of the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2012.
