“The most striking development, however, is the changing nature of work itself and its increased psychosocial workload ("work stress"). Today for many employees, work poses primarily mental and emotional demands, rather than physical demands. The developments in work have changed the jobs of many employees: these days, for instance, a car mechanic deals with complicated electronic systems as well as with highly demanding clients. So work has changed from manual to mental and emotional work.”
 

Jan's current teaching, research, and other activities are on Work and Organizational Psychology, Human Performance Management, as well as on Advanced Methods & Statistics. Central theme is the optimization of performance at work and sports. Together with Christian Dormann he developed the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation (DISC) Model of job stress (DISQ questionnaire inclusive). Furthermore, he has several editorial responsibilities for national and international scientific journals:
1) Editor of the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology (JOOP);
2) Member of the Editorial Board of the Dutch journal 'Gedrag & Organisatie' (Behavior & Organization);

3) Consulting Editor of the Review of Work and Organizational Psychology (formerly known as 'Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones').
