Abstract: The job demand-control-support (JDCS) model has been an influential organizational stress model in the area of occupational stress research, which involves extensively empirical researches in various countries. We summarize and analyze related JDCD researches in the past 30 years in three aspects: the applicability of the JDCS model, the exploration of interrelated variables, and the development of the JDCS model. It is found that the current JDCS model presents a satisfactory level of applicability and comprehensiveness. However, there is still a need for future research on both the development of JDCS model itself and the JCQ which is based on JDCS model.

Key words: work stress, job demand-control-support model job demand, job control, social support
