Abstract
Research on workplace stress measurements varied without much accuracy and effectiveness. The objective of this study was to introduce a new quantitative assessment tool emWave Pro Plus (Institute of HeartMath) and to compare Heart Rate Variability (HRV) results with the Personal and Organizational Quality Assessment (POQA) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Eighty-five full-time employees who were working at least 40 hours per week in a large corporation participated in this study. Firstly, significant negative correlations were found between Subjective Stress and HRV measures: Perceived Stress and 5 minute mean Inter-Beat-Interval (IBI), r=-0.217*, perceived stress and 5 min SDNN, r=-0.255* and perceived stress and Ln 5min RMSSD, r=-0.282**. Secondly, significant negative correlations were found between age and the HRV measures: 1-minute SDNN (r=-0.235, p<0.01), 5 minute SDNN (r=-0.290, p<0.01); 5-minute RMSSD (r=-0.395, p<0.01); total power (r=-0.272, p<0.05); very low frequency (r=-0.215, p<0.05) and high frequency (r=0.402, p<0.01). Thirdly, significant negative correlation was found between normalized coherence and relational tension (r=-0.222, p<0.05). Additionally, significant positive correlations were found between Emotional Stress and the Mean Heart Rate Range (MHRR), r=0.216* and between intention to quit and 5-minute Ln Very Low Frequency (VLF), r=-0.234*. The research shows promising results and future studies should continue to tap into HRV as an objective measure of mental health and workplace stress.Biography
