CARDENAS NINO, Lucila; MONTOYA ARENAS, David Andrés  and  AGUIRRE ACEVEDO, Daniel Camilo. Frontal functions, working conditions and work stress: Mediation or moderation effect? A narrative review. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.2, pp.149-176. ISSN 0123-417X.  https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.36.2.155.9.

The objective of the present study was to review the evidence on the role of frontal functions in the relationship between work condition and work stress. Articles published in databases such as Scielo, PubMed, Redalyc and Science Direct were chosen. The review allowed to recognize that the labor conditions with greater occupational risk are related to the organization specifically with the position and practices of human management. The role of moderator of personal characteristics and coping strategies in the stress response is also highlighted. With respect to the frontal functions some studies show the negative effect of stress on these processes or as functions that participate in the adaptive response to stress. To conclude, there are studies that identify a negative relationship between personality disorders and frontal functions in relation to perceived threat in some cases.
