Job Demands and Resources
The job demands and resources model is a occupation-generic theoretical framework that explains how job characteristics influence employee wellbeing, motivation, and performance through two distinct psychological processes (for more details see Demerouti, E. and Bakker, A.B. (2011) The Job Demands-Resources model: Challenges for future research.). Accordingly:
- Job demands are any physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects of work that require sustained effort and are therefore associated with physiological and/or psychological costs. They include, for example, high quantitative workload and time pressure, complex cognitive tasks, emotionally demanding interactions with clients or stakeholders, role conflict or ambiguity, and frequent changes or interruptions that force constant adaptation. Demands are not inherently negative, but they become hindrance demands when they are intense, chronic, and recovery is insufficient, contributing to fatigue, stress, and eventually burnout.
- Job resources are physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects of work that (a) help employees achieve work goals, (b) reduce job demands and the associated costs, or (c) stimulate personal growth, learning, and development. Typical resources include autonomy and decision latitude, clear feedback on performance, social support from colleagues and supervisors, opportunities for learning and development, fair rewards, and a supportive organizational climate. Resources not only buffer the negative impact of high demands on strain, but also have their own motivational role by fulfilling basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, thereby fostering engagement and performance.
In our study demands and resources were measured using single items developed by the authors (respectively, “My organization has reasonable demands about work goals for social and human rights practice teams” and “My organization provides adequate resources for social and human rights practitioners to achieve their work goals”).

| Note: Note: Higher scores indicate greater job demands (stressor) and greater job resources (buffer). Scale midpoint = 3 (Moderate). According to the Job Demands-Resources model, high demands plus low resources predict burnout risk where as high demands plus high resources predict engagement. |

Value Congruence
Value congruence refers to the perceived alignment between an individual’s personal values and the values espoused and enacted by their organization, reflecting the degree to which employees experience harmony between what they personally consider important and what the organization prioritizes in its culture, decisions, and practices (for more details see Vveinhardt, J. and Gulbovaitė, E. (2016) Expert Evaluation of Diagnostic Instrument for Personal and Organizational Value Congruence. Journal of Business Ethics, 136(3), pp. 481–501). This construct captures not merely cognitive recognition of shared values but the subjective experience of value fit, where congruence fosters identification with the organization, commitment, and psychological well-being, while incongruence may trigger role strain, disengagement, or turnover intentions
In our study value congruence was measured using an adaptation of three items from the Personal and Organizational Value Congruence scale (e.g., “My organization’s values and culture provide a good fit with the things that I value in life”). These items were computed into a single composite measure with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.80.

Team Psychological Safety
Psychological safety is a shared team climate characterized by mutual trust and respect in which members feel safe to take interpersonal risks—expressing ideas, asking for help, admitting mistakes, and voicing dissent—without fear of embarrassment, rejection, or punishment. Psychological safety is not about being “nice” or avoiding conflict; rather, it enables productive dialogue, learning from failure, and collective problem-solving by reducing the self-protective behaviors that silence valuable input. It functions as a team-level property (not merely an aggregation of individual traits) and serves as a foundation for team learning, innovation, and adaptive performance in complex, interdependent work environments (for more details see Edmondson, A.C. and Bransby, D.P. (2023) Psychological Safety Comes of Age: Observed Themes in an Established Literature. Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, 10, pp. 54–78). This construct manifests through four interrelated experiential dimensions:
- Attitudes Towards Risk: Confidence that interpersonal vulnerability (e.g., proposing untested ideas or acknowledging errors) will not trigger negative social consequences;
- Inclusion and Diversity: A sense of belonging and acceptance as a legitimate team member whose presence and perspective are valued;
- Willingness to Help: Comfort in seeking assistance or admitting knowledge gaps without appearing incompetent; and
- Open Conversataion: Motivation to speak up with concerns, suggestions, or dissenting views to improve team functioning.
In our study psychological safety was measured using a selection 4 items of the Team Psychological Safety scale, one per dimension (e.g., “If people make a mistake, it is often held against them”). The four items were computed into a single composite variable named Team Psychological Safety with good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.72).

Organizational Trust
Organizational trust is a cognitive-affective orientation toward the organization characterized by confidence in its reliability, integrity, and benevolent intentions. This multidimensional view positions trust not as a static attitude but as a dynamic, experience-based judgment that underpins employee commitment, risk-taking, and organizational citizenship behaviors (for more details see Rempel, J.K., Holmes, J.G. and Zanna, M.P. (1985). Trust in Close Relationships. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 49(1), pp. 95–112). Organizational trust structured across three developmental dimensions:
- Predictability: The perception that the organization behaves in consistent, expected ways over time, allowing employees to anticipate organizational responses and decisions with confidence;
- Dependability: Belief in the organization’s competence, responsibility, and willingness to fulfill its commitments and act in employees’ interests, even under pressure or uncertainty; and
- Faith: A forward-looking, emotionally grounded confidence in the organization’s enduring responsiveness and goodwill, transcending specific past transactions to sustain trust during ambiguity or change.
In our study oganizational trust was measured using three items from Rempel’s et al. (1985) Trust Scale, one per trust dimension (faith, dependability, and predictability; e.g., “When we encounter difficult and unfamiliar new circumstances I feel safe and comfortable by letting my organization do what they wanted”). The three items were computed into a single composite variable named Organizational Trust with good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.77).
